Try as you may, it’s impossible to choose a favorite among Venice, Florence and Rome. Each city is unique in its own right, with distinctive flavors, sights and sounds.We’ve picked three iconic cities at the pulse of Italy’s vibrant culture, both past and present. Venice brings romance to the forefront, with sprawling Baroque palaces and meandering, gondola-do�ed canals. The Renaissance is tangible in Florence, where the presence of the world’s greatest artists can still be felt. And in Rome, history is ever-present, from the crumbling Colosseum to the Forum.
