It is perhaps most recognizable for the canals that provide the main form of transportation throughout the city.

Venice is thought to have been established over 2000 years ago, when waves of barbarians drove people out of their homes in various Roman cities. They immigrated south and established homes in the area now known as Venice. As with any city, over the years it changed hands numerous times, and the main occupants were repeatedly driven out and replaced by new ones.

essentially a self-governed region of a country that trades freely among others.
As Venice became a prominent player in the sea trade of the time, it was set upon by many different threats. Pirates became a huge problem. Fewer and fewer shipments were making it through the treacherous water. This is when the Republic of Venice decided to move their operations to the eastern shores. This allowed it to stay in the game and develop its economy even further.
When you think of Venice, the first thing that comes to mind are the canals, which are considered the trademark of the city. The city was originally built on giant wood piles. The piles have been underwater for hundreds of years, but the modern buildings still rest on them. It is common knowledge now that Venice is gradually sinking into the water, or at least was for some period of time. In some houses, the original first floors are already submerged. When this happened, homeowners simply boarded up that section of the house and moved upstairs.
When you visit Venice, you can feel a rich aura of its history and culture. Floating through the canals for an afternoon makes for a memorable experience, and it’s one that any traveler should enjoy. So plan your trip to Venice today, and witness it for yourself!

<p>On our <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.facebook.com/pages/Italy-Travel/343079528539">Italy Travel Facebook page</a>, Melissa posted a few restaurants she liked during her recent stay in Florence. She and her family stayed in a vacation rental apartment (through <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/europe/italy/tuscany/florence">VRBO</a>) in San Frediano neighborhood, across the Arno from the historic center and she says she highly recommends staying in a vacation rental, especially if you're traveling with children.

<p>Not all of Michelangelo's art is in Florence, though. There's also a fair amount in Rome and Vatican City, including his famous Pieta' sculpture and Sistine Chapel ceiling Here's <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://goitaly.about.com/od/romeattractions/a/michelangelo-art-rome.htm">Where to See Michelangelo's Art in Rome</a>.</p>

Eat Pray Love Movie Sites in Rome
<p>In the movie <em>Eat Pray Love</em>, you'll see lots of Rome scenes. In the first part of the book, <em>Eat</em>, author Elizabeth Gilbert (played by Julia Roberts) spends her time in Rome searching for beauty and exploring Italian food. She also takes a trip to Naples, the city where pizza originated, in search of perfect pizza. You can visit these places on your next trip to Rome or take a virtual look with our article, <a href="http://goitaly.about.com/od/romeattractions/tp/eat-pray-love-sites-rome.htm"><strong>Eat Pray Love Sites in Rome</strong></a>.</p>

Book Ahead to See the Last Supper in Milan
<p>Stan Douglas, of <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.paliotours.com/">Palio Tours</a> (who also offer a <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.paliotours.com/opera_tour.html">Milan and Verona Opera Tour</a>), suggested that I remind readers to book two to three months ahead if they want to see Da Vinci's popular masterpiece, the <em>Last Supper</em>, in Milan. Stan says, "getting in there has become even more difficult that obtaining <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://goitaly.about.com/od/festivalsandevents/qt/siena-palio.htm">Palio</a> tickets!" If you can't get tickets for the date you want, one company has started offering a few last minute tickets when they have them available.
