La dolce vita fiorentina

March 6, 2018
Florence two days guide

You may have the universe if I may have Italy Giuseppe Verdi I have told you long time ago that a trip to Italy once a year is an essential part on my travel list which I couldn’t tick off for 2017, since I’ve spent so much time in NYC (and Little Italy just doesn’t make up for that).

Grado – an Italian seaside resort in style

August 7, 2015
what to see in Grado Italy

An online travel guide says Grado isn’t much known outside Italy and Austria but among them it’s very popular for several reasons.
