Piedmont, or simply swilling powerhouse reds at Rome's International Wine Academy,
prepare to swoon.
Luscious Landscapes
Italy's fortes extend beyond its galleries, plates and wardrobes. The country is one of
Mother Nature's darlings, its geography offering rarely rivalled natural diversity. From the
north's icy Alps and glacial lakes to the south's volcanic craters and turquoise grottoes,
this is a place for doing as well as seeing. One day you're tearing down Courmayeur's
powdery slopes, the next you could be riding cowboy-style across the marshes of the
Maremma, or diving in coral-studded Campanian waters. Not bad for a country not much
bigger than Arizona.
