Italy has left a powerful mark on the world, due to its beautiful landscapes, vibrant culture, decadent style and excellent cuisine.
It is recognised for its international reputation in strategic sectors such as fashion, automotive, marine, design, mechanics. The Italian style, innovation, creativity and love for the tradition are all key success factors of the “Made-in-Italy” brand in the competitive world market.
Here are Welcome Italy DMC's top regions:
The cosmopolitan city of Milan (Image to the left) is Italy’s economic engine room, where the hard-working Milanese run their busy metropolis with efficiency and aplomb. The club scene is bouncing, and the cuisine is second to none, with a melting pot of cultures that create an eclectic range of dishes for all tastes.
The city offers a wide range of sophisticated and luxurious venues, from modern conference centres to exclusive private settings.
Milan boasts a reliable public transportation system and is known for its commitment to efficiency and productivity, ensuring smooth logistics for events.
Venice is the city of magic, full of secrets and unbelievable romance. Arguably the most beautiful city in the world, Venice was created more than 1,000 years ago, by men who dared defy the sea by erecting their splendid palaces and churches on mud banks in a swampy and treacherous lagoon.
Today, as you wander through its winding, narrow streets, you can still see how it has become known for being the most elegant and refined city in Europe, greatly influencing art, architecture and literature all over the world. Often called “the floating city”, Venice has the power to lift the souls, hearts and minds of all of its visitors.
The Maggiore Lake is famous for its enchanting shores, which boast famous castles, monuments and islands, that dazzle like authentic jewels. Luxury villas and opulent Art Nouveau hotels line the elegant lakeside, making it an ideal location to take a tranquil stroll and soak up the spectacular sights of the local area.
The famous town of Stresa (sitting 200m above sea level and housing 5000 residents) enjoys a splendid location on Lake Maggiore, where it overlooks the eponymous islands, which is the main attraction in the region. Its beautiful countryside, architectural gems and mild climate combine to make Stresa one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy. Due to this, since the late 19th century Stresa has been renowned for its sophisticated atmosphere and genteel visitors, and today it still enjoys an impressive roster of cultural and musical events.
Lake Como is the epitome of gracefulness, beauty and refinement. Sometimes described as “the star with three points”, Lake Como is made up of three branches which are united in a charming central lake.
Known as the pearl of the northern lakes, Lake Como is world-renowned for its beauty, which makes it the perfect destination for those looking to get lost in a corner of paradise. Welcome Italy operate various programs in this magnificent region and each time guests are amazed by its mild climate, wholesome air, relaxing atmosphere and magnificent views, as well as its luxurious villas and glorious churches, chapels and monasteries.
Where Rome is a historical hot-pot, Florence is like stepping back into a Fiat and Vespa-filled Renaissance: the shop-lined Ponte Vecchio, the trademark Duomo, the gem-filled Uffizi Gallery, the turreted Piazza Della Signoria and the Medici Chapels all form a city-size shrine to the Renaissance.
However, to see the Tuscan capital simply as Europe’s preeminent city of art would be to ignore its role as a dynamic and cosmopolitan metropolis, and to overlook its more unsung charms – such as Italy’s most visited gardens, idyllic strolls in the rolling Tuscan hills and its famous ice-cream parlour. Unforgettable experiences that are all within walking distance.
It has been said that one lifetime is not enough to appreciate all that Rome has to offer. The magical city contains traces of every period of its existence since 753 B.C, the date when the city is said to have been founded by Romulus. Even today, new discoveries continue to come to light, providing visitors with a wealth of artistic treasures and architectural wonders to explore.
Rome became the capital of Italy in 1870. The metropolis clusters round a multicentric old town centre that contains a host of great attractions, which are all enclosed within the ancient defensive barrier of the Aurelian Wall (the only instance of its type in Europe). Today, the historic centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and provides visitors with a heady mix of haunting ruins, awe-inspiring art and vibrant street life.
