|
If Rome were a woman, she would seduce you with her ageless beauty, mysterious secrets and her zest for life. If Rome were a man, he would embrace you with his majestic strength, enduring artistry and romantic charm. You can fall in love with Rome! By Anthony Capozzoli Can you fall head over heels in love with a city? If Rome were a woman, she would seduce you with her ageless beauty, mysterious secrets and her zest for life. If Rome were a man, he would embrace you with his majestic strength, enduring artistry and romantic charm. It is a potent combination of romance, relics, and ruins that makes Italy one of the top three western European destinations for Americans. Anthony Capozzoli, author of the new book and CD audio guide, 'Unabellavista Rome: How to Tour Italy,' fell in love with Italy at a young age. His must-see sights always include museum tours. 'I think Rome is a spellbinding city that woos you with a magical elixir of breathtaking art and architecture,' says Capozzoli. 'When you try to quantify the number of masterpieces housed in Rome it's awe inspiring. You don't have to be an art aficionado to marvel at the gifted work of masters such as Michelangelo.' Sure, while we love the masterpieces and the sense of history that permeates the air, let's not ignore Rome's siren call of fine shopping that beckons fashionistas who crave the supple caress of a fine leather shoe or handbag. Oh, and did we mention the food and the wine? What's not to love! 'To really explore a city, you need to travel independently and look for the local attractions - not just the tourist traps,' says Capozzoli. 'Find a restaurant that looks and smells wonderful, then defer to your server's expertise. That's how you get the best authentic dishes. The same applies for your entire experience. Just embrace the culture and they'll want to guide you.' To truly enjoy Italy, you need to plan accordingly to avoid the common aggravations that can dampen overseas travel. Here are some key tips to make the most of your visit: Book Available at: Amazon For more information visit: www.unabellavista.com About the Author: Anthony Capozzoli is a Chicago native whose family hails from Campagna and Sicily. He grew up strongly influenced by his family's Italian heritage and developed a deep love for Italy. Capozzoli has researched Italy his entire life and he relied on that research to map out an incredible itinerary for his maiden voyage to Rome 6 years ago. When Capozzoli returned home, his friends were so inspired by his visit that they asked Capozzoli to plan a trip to Rome for them - with a complete itinerary. What started out as a favor for his friends, grew into something much bigger than Capozzoli ever anticipated. He has since published 'Unabellavista Rome,' a guidebook for the city of Rome, along with a CD audio guide. He is now working on a second guidebook: 'Unabellavista Florence.' A graduate of the University of Iowa, Capozzoli ultimately plans to divide his time between Italy and the United States.
