Visit the stunning Duomo, which was built to commemorate the Miracle at Bolsena. Visit the Orvieto underground where the Etruscans and Romans dug into the tufa and over the centuries created more than 1,000 separate cisterns, caves, secret passages, storage areas, and production areas for wine and olive oil. Overnight and dinner in Florence.

Tour of the Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizzi, Michelangelo's masterpiece, The David, Flea Market, Duomo (Cathedral), and the Baptistery.

  • Day 6: Mantua, or Mantova, is a beautiful, historic city in northern Italy surrounded on three sides by lakes. It was one of the greatest Renaissance Courts in Europe and home of the wealthy Gonzaga family. The town's center is three spacious and lively piazzas that join together. In 2008 Mantova became a UNESCO World Heritage Site based on its Renaissance planning and architecture. It was voted the best place to live in Italy in 2005. Palazzo Ducale, the home of the Gonzaga family from the late 13th to early 17th centuries, is a huge complex of buildings, courtyards, and gardens. There are over 500 rooms, the most famous being the Camera degli Sposi with frescoes from 1474 painted by Mantegna. Dinner and overnight in Padua.
  • Day 7: Early departure to Ravenna. Visit the Basilica di San Vitale which is over 1400 years old and see the brilliant mosaics. San Vitale can be seen as the last of the ancient Roman art and the first of the Christian era.
