Capital: Rome
La dolce vita...the good life. This is one place you can spend a lot of time. Romans, pasta, wine, pasta...come and stay a while.
Milan: Fashion, the Italian Wall Street, and Renaissance art / architecture.
Pisa: Home to a poorly designed clock tower.
Pompeii: They never even saw it coming 🌋...and when they did, they though it was cool and stayed to stare at it 😂
Rome: The capital and city named after the grand empire.
Riomaggiore: Part of Cinque Terre (Five Lands). It's easy to traverse between them on the train.
Venice: More than a Shakespearian tale, the merchants in Venice were legit powerful and wealthy.
