While most of the world is familiar with Sardinia for its breathtaking white-sand beaches and glamorous resorts on the Emerald Coast, the real secrets of Sardinia are located in its more rugged and mountainous hinterland. It is there that you will find the world’s first-ever Blue Zone – an area with an extraordinarily high concentration of centenarians and where men live just as long as women. Sardinia is also home to an extraordinary archeological heritage dating back to the Bronze Age and characterized by monuments known as “nuraghi” – large stone towers built of massive stones without cement or mortar. Then there’s Sardinia’s “European Caribbean” as the Maddalena Archipelago National Park is known for its strikingly bright blue water surrounding a group of 60 islands in the strait separating Sardinia from Corsica. And if it’s great food and wine that you are after, from world famous pecorino cheese to super high antioxidant Cannonau red wine, then Sardinia is definitely the place for you!
Join me in June 2027 and let me share the secrets of Sardinia with all of you!

Twice a year, on July 2 and August 16, the city of Siena transforms its main medieval square into an arena of unbridled fury. Ten bareback horses and their respective jockeys race three laps at breakneck speed around a dirt-covered piazza that is filled with fifty-thousand people! That is the Palio, and for the past seven centuries winning it has been the most important objective of every Sienese citizen.

Venice was the longest lasting Republic in history. The city’s privileged position as cultural and economic bridge between the Eastern and Western Christian worlds contributed to its uniqueness. The art and architecture of Venice clearly displays a combination of Islamic, Byzantine, and classical influences. Artists such as Bellini, Giorgione, Titian, and Tintoretto made Venetian painting perhaps the only school to rival that of the central Italian Renaissance. This travel program will not only examine the art and architecture of Venice, but also the history, culinary and enological traditions of perhaps the most singular city in the world.
