Worth Spending Activities in Italy

Learn All About Italian Painter, Giorgio de Chirico

When you think about famous Italian painters, your mind will probably wander back to the Baroque and Renaissance periods of art, but Italy has also produced some very fine contemporary artists, including the likes of Giorgio de Chirico, and you can learn all about his life and see some of his works at the Giorgio de Chirico House Museum in Rome, so called because the artist and his wife lived there for thirty years before he died.

Try Delicious Wines at the Antinori Winery

It is no secret that Italians know more than a thing or two about creating stellar wine, and while you’re in the country you should sip as much as you can (without destroying your liver or turning into a drunk). In fact, the selection of wines can be somewhat overwhelming, and that’s why we would recommend a trip to the Antinori Winery, surrounded by the hills of Chianti, where you’ll be looked after, and you’ll be guided through wine tastings in a stunning setting.

Eat in the Best Pizzeria on the Planet

When you think of Italian food, one of the first dishes you are likely to think of is pizza. And who could blame you? It is, after all, one of the most delicious and popular foods on the face of the planet. We honestly could have filled this guide with the 101 coolest places to eat pizza in Italy, but we have restrained ourselves to give you our number one choice, with is a traditional pizzeria called Di Matteo in Naples. You can expect thin and crispy crusts, tomato sauce that is bursting full of flavour, and the freshest buffalo mozzarella.

Take in the View of Venice From the Campanile

For anyone arriving to Venice by sea, the tower of the Campanile of St Mark’s is the first thing that would be seen. This bell tower is 99 metres tall, and you can take an elevator right to the top of the tower, where you will reach the observation deck. There is a cost attached to doing this, but it’s well worth it for the exceptional view that you’ll have across the whole of the city.

Get Close to Sea Life in the Aquarium of Genoa

A great deal of Italy is surrounded by water, and this means that you can find plenty of interesting marine life off the coast. But if you don’t fancy getting your feet wet you can still see the sea creatures of Italy by visiting the country’s largest aquarium, the Aquarium of Genoa. With 15,000 animals inside, there is plenty to explore for the whole family. You can feel the grandeur of the sharks, say hi to the cute penguins, be amazed by the manatees, and more.
