Autumn is the best time to visit Italy. The weather is beautiful, the crowds of tourists have thinned out, and the fall Italian festivals are in full swing. Attending festivals is not only fun, it is a good way to learn about Italian culture and traditions in Italy.

Most festivals in Italy are based on historic events. They often include processions of people in period costume, local Italian food, contests and fireworks. Most Italian festivals are free but attendance at some events may require purchase of a ticket.

The Roman Colosseum is one of the most recognizable and frequently visited landmarks in Rome or Italy.

As one of the oldest standing monuments in the country at just over 2000 years, the history that has taken place on these grounds spans the ages. Erected in an era when dynasties ruled and class discrimination was rampant in the kingdom, every citizen was admitted to the games, which took place here, free of charge.

Rome is one of Italy’s most important tourist cities with key historical and religious relevance.

A Rome tour is actually an unforgettable experience of the rich Italian culture, ancient history, a vibrant lifestyle, great Italian cuisines and wines, and a host of architectural monuments across the ancient city.

Like the saying goes, Rome is a city that was definitely not built in one day. It is therefore not possible to see and visit all of Rome’s best sceneries and attractions in three, much less one, day.

However, if you are on a short three day break, you do not need to worry. This short guide will help you make the most of your short Rome tour in the most convenient way.

When you think about Italy, most people instinctively picture renowned places such as Rome, the Coliseum, the ever Leaning Tower of Pisa; or dishes such as spaghetti, gelato, risotto, and pizza.

While these are all beautiful and delicious Italian staples, there are other places and foods in Italy that are just as wonderful and scrumptious as these.

Case in point: Liguria on the Italian Riviera. Located in the little northern arch of Italy (in other words: above the knee area of the boot!), Liguria is famous for many things.
