Here are some examples of the wonders in small groups or in big ones Larus Car Service will take you to discover: | | MILAN – It offers many possibilities to who wishes to spend an unforgettable holiday. With its artistic, pictorial and architectonic treasures, with its position of relief in the field of the Italian fashion and with its wide offer of every kinds’ entertainments, it acts as both container and promoter of new trends, as it attracts people on itself from all the world. There are many monuments in record of its historical past, places, personalities, art and culture. The greater part of the palaces and monuments of Milan to visit is concentrated in the city centre, between the Cathedral and Sforza Castle. | Between the main ones we remember for their artistic, historical and social interest Cathedral, Sforza Castle, Royal Villa, Monumental Cemetery, Peace’s Arch, gallery Vittorio Emanuele II and Leonardo’s Last Supper.
| VERONA – St. Zeno’s basilica, one of the most valuable expressions of the Romanesque style in Italy, stands out from medieval and Renaissance monuments. St. Zeno’s church, St. Fermo’s church, | Reason Palace and Signori’s square are also Romanesque. Complex of Della Scala Arks, work of Maestri Campionensi, St. Anastasia’s church, frescoed by Altichiero, Castelvecchio, fortress on Adige, that today accommodates Art’s Civic Museum, go back to the Gothic period. Remarkable works go back to the Renaissance: between these San George in Braida’s church, loggia of the Council, palaces Pompei and Bevilacqua, Porta Nuova and Porta Palio. Roman Arena of the first century A.D., still centre of big lyric shows, is very famous. | | | VENICE – It expands around St. Mark’s square, in which the original basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Loggetta of the Sansovino with the bell tower, the Tower of the Clock, work of Coducci, the Procuratie and the Ala Napoletana, now centre of the museum “Correr” rise. Saint Mark’s small square accommodates the Sansovino’s library, seat of the Marciana Library. Between Venice’s Gothic constructions we mention St. Maria of Frari’s church, St. John and Paul’s one and, between the palaces, the Ca' of Oro and the Ca' Foscari, now seat of the university. The Renaissance shapes characterize St. Maria of the Miracles’ church, the Big School of St. Mark, the School of St. John the Evangelist, work of Pietro Lombardo and sons; the front of the St. Zaccaria’s church, work of Coducci and palaces Vendramin-Calergi and Corner-Spinelli. Via Colleoni, one of the most beautiful equestrian roads, work of Verrocchio and the paintings of Gentile Bellini in St. Mark’s School and the ones of Vittore Carpaccio in St. George of Schiavoni go back to the XV-XVI centuries. | St. Francis of Vigna’s church, work of Sansovino, stands out from the architectonic works. The paintings of Tintoretto in the school of St. Rocco and the ones of Veronese in the church of Saint Sebastiano are wonderful. Between the most important museums of the world you should visit the galleries of the Academy, museum of the Venetian Eighteenth-century, Correr museum, Querini – Stampalia gallery, Archaeological Museum, Gallery of Modern Art and Guggenheim Foundation for the Art.
| FLORENCE – It is called the capital of the art; if we refer to the Unesco’ statistics, 60% of the most important works of art of the world are found in Italy and about half of these are in Florence. From XIII to XVI century in Florence there was an interminable source of creative masterpieces and Italian geniuses. Both Dante and Michelangelo were born in this city. | Here the Boccaccio wrote its “Decamerone”. The Italian Renaissance, the richest cultural period of Europe, began to Florence when Brunelleschi ended the Cathedral, with its enormous cupola. During the Italian Renaissance Florence acquired its palaces and its squares, true and original outdoor museums. In many squares, for example in Signoria’s Square, there are original statues and fountains. Florence is also a city full of closed buildings at incomparable beauty. Its chapels, its galleries and its museums are true treasure; in fact they succeed in capturing the complex spirit of Renaissance period, often elusive, more than whichever other place in Italy. | | The most original museum in Florence is that one of the Uffizi that accommodates works of Botticelli, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Tiziano and Rubens. Other wonderful museums of art are Pitti Palace, the Gallery of the Academy and Palazzo Vecchio. The city is also the house of some of the biggest churches of Italy, like the famous Cathedral, St. Lorenzo, St. Maria Novella and St. Croce. | | COMO LAKE – It is the third lake of Italy. It is well-known for its nearly Mediterranean climate and so exercises an important attraction for a long time on tourists and people who have left their sign with the presence of many patrician residences. The lake is rich of places to visit as Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Brienno, Island Comacina, the Tramezzina, Lenno, Tremezzo, Menaggio, Varenna, Lecco, Bellagio and Torno. | LAKE MAGGIORE - Its shores cover an overall length of 150 kilometres and more. They leave from Canton Ticino in Switzerland, arrives until Sesto Calende and flow through two regions, Piedmont and Lombardy and three provinces, Novara, Varese and Verbano Cusio Ossola. Don’t lose views, dawns, sunsets, countries like Arona, Meina, Lesa, Stresa, Feriolo, Fondotoce, Island Bella, Island Madre, Pescatori Island, Orta lake, Mottarone and Angera Fortress. | | | GARDA LAKE – It is the biggest Italian lake. Intense blue colour of its waters, Mediterranean vegetation (with vineyards, olive trees, cedars, lemons and cypresses), surrounding mountains make it a charming place famous poets like Catullo and Goethe have described in their passages. Our drivers will take you to the most enchanting places, like Sirmione and Desenzano on the southern shorer, Gardone Riviera and Limone to the west and Garda Riva to the north. On the eastern shore there are Malcesine, Torri of Benaco, the cape of St. Vigilio, Garda, mountain Baldo, Bardolino, Lazise and Peschiera of Garda. |
