La
Dolce
Vita
The expression comes from the title
of a famous Federico Fellini movie.
In a memorable scene, Marcello
Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg take
a late night dip in Rome’s Trevi
fountain. In truth, “la dolce vita”
is much more than enjoying life’s
seductive pleasures. It is a lifestyle,
a state-of-mind...
The phrase comes from the title of a famous Federico
Fellini movie, with a memorable scene in which Marcello
Mastroianni bathes with alluring Anita Ekberg in the
Trevi Fountain in Rome, late at night. La dolce vita,
actually, is much more than enjoying life’s most epicurean
and seductive joys, it is at once a community lifestyle and
a state-of-mind, a way of being in the world and of the
world.
La Dolce Vita
“La dolce vita”… dreamily pronounced,
is an iconic Italian expression. The
“sweet life” conveys that relaxed,
pleasure-filled lifestyle that Italians are
known to seek and cultivate. This is at
the heart of an unforgettable Italian
vacation. Passionately devoted to this
philosophy Italy’s Finest is delighted to
present the ultimate Italian experience:
La Dolce Vita Vacation.

Discover
During the 18th century young
European aristocrats and wealthy
Americans used to embark
on extensive voyages across
continental Europe. The “Grand
Tour” included France and other
Mediterranean countries, but its
climax was Italy. These travelers
were the very first tourists in history.
Fascinated by Italy, birthplace of
Western history, they were lured
by its warmth in climate and
relationships. They visited great
cities like Florence and Rome
where Renaissance and Classical
art came to life, Venice with its
sensuality and mythical Naples…
Explore & Discover
The Grand Tour was a rite of passage…
and has remained a legend. Still today,
its appeal is strong, but planning it
may appear daunting. Cities, artistic
masterpieces, churches and palaces
are innumerable. How can one make
the most of it? We create custom-built
Contemporary Grand Tours, up-todate versions of the legendary journey.
Ideal for the most inquisitive travelers,
we open the doors of private palaces
and art collections and give you the
keys to unlock Italy’s treasure chests.
We provide any kind of guide, from
art-historians to specialized children’s
guides, and produce special interest
printed itineraries for those wishing to
explore on their own.
Relive the Grand Tour!
