Currently the city is a real jewel and has managed to preserve testimonies ranging from roman to Renaissance times.

If I had to look for a word to replace “music” I could only think of Venice. (Friedrich Nietzsche)

Venice! Is there a city more admired, more celebrated, more sung by poets, more desired by lovers, more visited and more illustrious? Venice! Is there a name in human languages that has made people dream more than this?

(Guy de Maupassant)

Milan is without a doubt a city that does not need great presentations as it stands not only in the Italian economy, but also on the European scene. The Duomo of Milan is one of the most celebrated artistic and architectural symbols of our territory, as well as the Sforza Castle, a large fortified complex that was erected in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, on the remains of a previous medieval fortification of the 14th century; the MUDEC, the new museum of cultures and the Prada Foundation, the avant-garde of contemporary art and culture, are not to be missed. In the historical heart of Milan, there is the Pinacoteca di Brera and Santa Maria delle Grazie, with its masterpiece “The Last Supper” by Leonardo Da Vinci. Acclaimed capital of fashion and design, it is also the undisputed center of nightlife, starred restaurants, culinary fusion and the most fashionable clubs.

The ideal place for an unforgettable journey amidst centuries of history and endless blue sea.

A fishermen’s village, a city founded on the sea and out of the sea. Monopoli is situated right by the sea. A large white square where the houses of its center are still home to many fishermen.  And then churches, typical chiassi (the small squares where the life of the monopolitan community takes place) and squares, noble palaces of the eighteenth century or of the Murattiana period. Here and there are evidences and remains of medieval fortifications that reveal its ancient history. Golden, sandy beaches with crystal clear waters. A port that is a treasure chest of a living maritime civilization that lives on and thanks to the sea. But Monopoli is also boroughs, centuries-old olive trees, fortified farms and rupestrian churches that tell you about a unique city. Monopoli is the beating heart of the most authentic Apulia.
