I'm looking for sensual delights--Your most moving experience while in Italy-a fabulous bottle of wine while having dinner where nothing could be better-multo buono--a perfect ten--a view of the countryside that knocks your socks off, a romantic villa or hotel that is amazing--a feeling that this is soooo good that it can't be true!--art treasures that dazzle you to tears, music that carries you away, a feast that makes you feel as though you're family--the aroma of flowers that make you feel great to be alive--a sense that you never want to go back, a loving experience meeting someone that befriends you--hearing a song or sound that triggers a heavenly memory, etc. . . . . What are your most memorable memories of Italy--the land of LOVE?

Getting a head in gondola at night in Venice while gongoliere sang ,Ahhhh

Going to St Marks square at night when the breeze is blowing, the moon is out and there are 3 live orchestras playing love songs in the square. That is hard to beat.

Waking up in a second-floor Venetian room over a side canal with the sunlight reflecting off the water onto the ceiling, hearing church bells, and being enveloped in the smell of bread baking in the bakery downstairs.

A room in Florence with a terrace on the Arno - last thing I saw at night, first thing in the morning. Even got up in the middle of the night, just to look again. Breathtaking... <BR> <BR>Eating FRESH mozzarella di buffalo for breakfast, with tomatoes, wonderful oil and balsamic, overlooking the sea... mmmmmmmm <BR> <BR>Lying by the floating pool at Villa D'Este - bright sunshine, gentle breeze... <BR> <BR>Snow on the Rialto bridge... <BR> <BR>The scirocco in Puglia - very exotic
