The Art! The History! The Food! Welcome to Bella Italia

We travel for many reasons. Sometimes it’s child-focused (or even adult-focused) fun. Sometimes it’s for adventure and the chance to explore the great outdoors. Sometimes it’s to celebrate and mark a special occasion like a milestone birthday, anniversary, or retirement. Sometimes it’s for a romantic honeymoon or destination wedding. Sometimes it’s because you need to relax and unwind. Sometimes it’s to gather with friends or family to reunite and just enjoy being together.

And sometimes it’s to explore and learn! We may be “foodies” and love the chance to experience food and wine in new destinations. Perhaps we are art-lovers and have dreamed about seeing famous works of art in person rather than from photos. Or we may be fascinated by history and want to explore the destinations and historical sites that have captivated our imagination.

If experiencing any of these – food/wine, art, history – sounds like reasons why you want to travel, then chances are Italy is on your travel bucket list! Read more
