Modern Italy

After welcome and check-in, a private full-day introduction to Rome begins at Capitoline Hill with views over the Forum, temples and the Sacred Way. Continue to Michelangelo’s Piazza del Campidoglio and the equestrian Marcus Aurelius, then the Circus Maximus and Palatine Hill before entering the Colosseum — ancient spectacle read with private pacing. The day closes at Piazza Venezia and the Victor Emmanuel II monument.

The morning opens at a Roman food market with a private chef, followed by a hands-on cooking class built around authentic local dishes you prepare and enjoy yourself. In the afternoon, enter the Vatican with privileged access to the Museums and St Peter’s Basilica — Michelangelo, Bernini and Raphael read through faith, art and architecture, from the colonnade of St Peter’s Square to the Pietà, the Dome and the Sistine Chapel.

A private Mercedes transfer to Florence (about 3 hours) leads into the Antinori estate — architecture, landscape and wine brought together in one of Tuscany’s most influential cellars. Lunch at Rinuccio 1180 overlooks the Chianti hills, before a tour through pressing, fermentation and aging reveals the rhythm of the estate with quiet precision.

Florence opens through the Uffizi and masterpieces such as Botticelli’s Spring, then continues along the Vasari Corridor to the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens — Medici power, portraiture and one of Europe’s great green architectures. The day closes with a private transfer to Milan.

Milan unfolds through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Sforza Castle, the Duomo, La Scala and Leonardo’s Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie. In the afternoon, a personal shopper introduces Milan’s private fashion language — ateliers, showrooms and discreet boutiques selected around your style, beyond the obvious signature brands.

Sirmione, on Lake Garda, begins at the historic centre and Villa Callas, with views toward the Grotte di Catullo and the thermal waters that have long defined the peninsula. Scaliger Castle completes the morning, before lunch and a private visit to Villa Mosconi Bertani in Valpolicella.

Your private guide introduces Verona through the Arena in Piazza Bra, Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori, Porta Borsari and Sant’Anastasia with its Pisanello frescoes and the Scaligeri Tombs. Along the Adige, take in the Roman theatre and the Stone bridge before Romeo and Juliet — the houses, the celebrated balcony — and the Romanesque beauty of the Basilica of San Zeno.

A private transfer travel by luxury Mercedes minivan to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, approximately one hour away. The visit celebrates the world of the Prancing Horse through historic models, Formula 1 heritage, design, engineering and the story of Enzo Ferrari. The museum experience combines rare cars, themed exhibitions and immersive installations that trace Ferrari’s evolution from racing passion to global icon. It is a day dedicated to Italian performance, craftsmanship and innovation, designed for guests who want to understand the culture behind one of the world’s most admired automotive legends.

Venice opens through the Correr Museum and the Doge’s Palace — centuries of civic power expressed in Venetian Gothic — before Teatro La Fenice reveals its gilded rooms and backstage atmosphere. The day closes inside St Mark’s Basilica, where the golden interior completes the passage through the city’s history and faith.

A private transfer will be arranged around your flight, with discreet concierge coordination through departure.
