Italy ignites the senses. Behold couture-clad locals or romantic Renaissance art. Follow the fragrance of garlic-infused cuisine or warming wafts of morning caffè. Indulge in tempting tiramisu or creamy cannoli to sweeten the sight of Roman ruins and volcanic villages. Feel the fresh island breeze, the calm mountain air or whatever wind swept you to this boot-shaped beauty bound to blow you away.
