Bella Italia

Hello Everyone!

How's it going?

Adventure in Rome

NO excuses this time. So, here it is...my first post about my Italy trip. There will be two posts about the trip. 

When in Rome, you always need to have a photo with a Vespa

On my last vacation, my family and I decided to travel to Italy. It was a road trip. The scenery was breath-taking! I've visited Rome before with a group called Comenius, so this time I had the chance to be the family's 'tour guide'. 

The famous Trevi Fountain

The Colosseum

We went around the ancient city of Rome, sight seeing. We visited the Colosseum, Fontana de Trevi, the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II, and many other historical places.  

After Rome, we drove up north to Florence. It is an amazing place. We spent our time in the center, where the leather market is (Mercato Nuovo). From there we went to the II Duomo-Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. The buildings are part of the UNESCO world heritage.The exterior of the cathedral is made from marble. 

On the way to the Mercato Nuovo

We pass by the Florence church Piazza della Signoria and Pallazo Veccio which is one of Florence's most important square. Then, we walked further to the Ponte Veccio, at that time, the reflection of the buildings on the water were sharped and cleared.

Beautiful Reflection in Ponte Veccio

On the last day, we decided to go to Villa Medicea La Petraia, one of the most famous Medici Villas, where it is located in the outskirts of Florence.
