He may be “a German in Rome,” says the Michelin Guide of La Pergola’s head chef, Heinz Beck, but his Roman and Mediterranean cuisine make him “more Italian than most of his colleagues.” Nice compliment, especially when accompanied by three Michelin stars -- more than any other restaurant in the city.

Art and food are two of the main draws for Florence visitors, and after a day exploring the former, you’ll need plenty of the latter.
Motorino Man's insight:
Tuscany has a reputation for fine food, as well it should. The Etruscans introduced the world to the "la dolce vita" lifestyle 3000 years ago. But do not mistake "classic Tuscan" food for old style food and recipes. This region of Italy is proud of its creative innovation. Everyone knows about the new twists Florence contributes to fashion and design. Likewise, Florentine chefs use the basic simple ingredients with new creative twists to innovate modern Tuscan food. Along your tour of Italy to Rome, Florence Venice enjoy your meals like an Italian, slowly...

Glass blowing is a lovely art. Great idea to invite artists to Venice's Murano to learn how to work with the material. Italy is known for its top quality designs. China will always corner the market on cheap disposible goods. While Italy should always own the market on high quality fashionable designs that last a lifetime. One of the highlights of a Italy tour to Venice is visiting Murano. http://italiantourism.us/rome-florence-venice-vacation-package/

Is a Rome sightseeing pass worthwhile?
Motorino Man's insight:
The pass will give you entrance to the Forum but not a guided tour. We do suggest a guided tour of the Vatican Musuem and also the forum. It will bring to life and organize what might otherwise be an overwhelming experience. You'll learn a lot and save time too.

Motorino Man's insight:
A good travel agent will always suggest customers buy insurance from a third party. Although all the tour operators offer insurance with their tours, many tour operators will not pay you back if they go bankrupt. When you are planning to invest significant money in a tour of Italy it always makes sense to work with a professional travel agent who will work with you to protect your investment. A professional agent provides advice and typically lower prices than buying direct. Visit ItalianTourism.us when you are thinking of a trip to Italy. http://italiantourism.us/

Motorino Man's insight:
The light in Italy is one of its unique qualities that add to its overall beauty. I have always thought maybe it has something to do with Italy being a peninsula the reflection from the water adds to the spectacular atmosphere. This creates the fabulous light that you'll enjoy not only in Tuscany but many of the Italian regions and of course in Venice, Florence, and Rome which are all close to the sea.

During a Venice vacation a trip to Padua is well worth it. The Scrovegni Chapel and Giotto frescoes are spectacular. In front of the Basilica of St Anthony is Donatello's bronze horse. The Bo University provides young college life to the streets. And the main square with its bust sculptures in a circle are quite an image. Padua includes canals that lead down to Venice.
