      Pescara 4 hours ago

      Now we realised that the best way to discover an Italian region is through food. Cooking, tasting and relaxing. Could you please recommend a company that provides such 1-day programs? Meanwhile I found only week-tours. Or may be you can recommend some sights producing local specialities that can be visited. I'm interested in Abruzzo or Apulia region. Thank you in advance.

    • Statuary

      Rome 4 hours ago

      In the early 1930's, my mothers brother was a Catholic priest stationed at the Vatican. When he returned to the United States, he brought back with him a marble and alabaster statue of (we believe - Mary Magdeline at the well, though we have always referred to it as Martha at the well). The statue sits on a marble pedestal with an alabaster globe that sits on a column above the statue. When fully assembled, the statue, pedestal and column with the globe is about 8 feet tall. The statue itself is about 3 feet tall and it depicts a woman carrying a small vase which is attached to her left arm by a cord, standing next to a carving that looks like the head of a man that is sending forth the water that is supposed to be the well. We believe the piece is hand carved and that it was made in Italy. About 25 years ago my brother was in Rome and he saw a smaller version of this same statue at one of the Vatican gift shops. We are trying to find out who made the statue and if they are still in business, as well as what the real title / name of the statue is. The attached picture is of the statue without the pedestal and only a short piece of the column that the globe sits on. If anyone can halp me identify the maker of this statue and the name of the statue I would greatly apprecite it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this search.

    • Speeding tickets in Italy

      Italy Yesterday

      Hello everyone,

      We have long been renting cars for our Italian holidays, and every time wondered at how the speed limits seem to not really be followed by anyone.

      I have, countless times, been in areas with a posted speed limit of, say, 50 kph, and I was literally the only one driving at that speed, while all other cars were overtaking us (often also honks/light-flashes/gestures). Many times, those 50kph areas were straight portions of clearly out-of-town and non-residential roads, and I would have felt it 100% safe&reasonable to accelerate to at least 70kph. However, I have already received a speeding ticket from one of those holidays, and would rather not take my chances.

      I am just wondering which one of these scenarios most likely explains the fact that almost no-one else on the road has the same "fear" as me:
      1) Italian drivers have speed camera detectors and thus only follow the limit when they "need to"
      2) They just prefer to get there faster even if it means paying regular speeding tickets, and/or know that most "Controllo elettronico della velocita" signs are bluffs
      3) They actually do get speeding tickets, but ignore them, presumably with little legal consequence (some Italian friends have suggested this)

      Any informed suggestions as to what might be going on are appreciated, thanks in advance :)

    • Regional explorations on our own or join tour group?

      Italy May 18, 2013 at 10:33 AM

      Since my wife and I are going to end up in Rome (or at least the airport) at the close of a week-long cruise of southern Italy and Greece in Sept, we wondered it would be feasible to spend another week traveling on our own to Florence and Venice and one or two other spots by train or bus. However, we'd still have to contend with our luggage. So my question is whether there is a city in which one could stay the week and try to explore via day trips or whether it would be better to just join a short tour? I'm inclined to the latter for the sake of convenience but don't know what companies to consider. Budget is certainly a concern as well. We are newly retired, and this would be our first time and possibly only time to visit. Our thanks to anyone who can advise.

      Hello. We fly into Milan at the end of June & have 10 days before we plan to take the train to Switzerland for the Montreux jazz festival. We have no experience of Italy apart from previous visits to Venice & Rome. Could you please suggest a tour that would be possible by train and bus that would finish somewhere where we can take the train (or bus) to Switzerland. San Marino is a possibility on our 'wish list'! But mostly we would love to explore the countryside and less touristy villages and small towns if that is possible by public transport. Or would it be cheaper to hire a car? How easy would it be to travel and find reasonably priced accommodation spontaneously rather than booking in advance? Many thanks in advance.
