LIFE IS ABOUT MOMENTS. 
DON'T WAIT FOR THEM. 
CREATE THEM!

The Dome of Saint Peter, which is known as Rome’s illusion. The reason for this, is that if you walk along the street, keeping your eye on the dome, the closer you get, the further away the dome seems to go.

The panoramic view on the gulf of Trieste offers the possibility to see the Miramare Castle and the city, while on the right it is possible to see Slovenia and a little side of Croatia. This is the only viewing point where 3 countries are visible. 

It wasn’t until the late 1980’s the route was “rediscovered” by hikers groups, born in Bologna and aptly named “The Path of Gods”. The reason for the name is that along the route there are number of different mountains that have been named after Gods and Goddesses: Monte Adone (Adonis), Monzuno (Mons Junonis), Monte Venere (Venus) and Monte Luario (Lua).

Then we visited the Farnese Theatre, a structure built in the 1600s by Giovanni Battista Aleotti. During the Second World War it was almost destroyed by an Allied air raid. It was then rebuilt and reopened in 1962.

Later that morning we visited the town of Busseto and the Verdi Theatre (Giuseppe Verdi) in which his first masterpieces were first played. The theatre hall is divided into a horseshoe shape and it has three levels of wooden boxes decorated with beautiful renaissance features. We even managed to see a small performance from a local opera singer!
