...Venice has to be the most beautiful place Ive ever been to and believe me I'm been to a lot! Whilst visiting Venice, a ferry ride to burano is a must. An island of the brightest coloured houses you've seen awaits you, not to mention some of the friendliest people I've ever met!It really is worth the journey.
Venice it's self plays host to art work of some of the greatest works of art, notably the Guggeniheim museum-even the entrance gates are beautiful. Italy wouldn't be Italy without the gorgeous Italian icecream or a ride down the grand canal in a gondular!...

Eddie Irvine discovered this to his cost. In 1999 he...

...Umbria is the most beautiful and varied region of Italy and each town is crammed with treasures and historical backgrounds (eg. St Benedict and St. Francis). Hill-towns feature quite prominently in Umbria- pinky-stoned, fascinating Assisi, the dark medieval streets of Perugia and the steep, delightful towns of Gubbio, Spello and Urbino. The unspoilt, gentle, lush countryside of Umbria is part of its charm. For example, the Piano Grande - a vast upland plain stretching for 40sqkm!
My review will be focused on the lovely medieval town of Assisi as this is my favourite Umbrian town and im constantly drawn back to it!
Assisi:
A series of earthquakes over the last few decades have severely damaged this medieval town and Assisi had to cope without its premiere sight - the Basilica di San Francesco! The Basilica's walls are covered...
