OFF THE BEATEN PATH ITALY Bologna Just an hour by train from Florence, the “Red City” has always been one of Italy’s great food destinations. From Michelin-stared restaurants to local trattorias, Bologna serves up unforgettable dishes. After a good meal your clients can stroll the Medieval food market for homemade pasta or climb the old bell tower for magnificent views of the red-tiled cityscape Recommended Hotel: Grand Majestic Gia Baglioni Sorrento Perched high on a white cliff above the Adriatic Sea, Sorrento offers views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. Take walks through scented gardens and the old fisherman's port. After relaxing in the sun-drenched piazza it’s time for the stunning, yet nerve-racking, Amalfi Drive. This world-famous road winds its way around sheer cliffs toward the village of Positano and then on toward Amalfi, a little seaside town basking in the sun. Recommended Hotel: Grand Hotel Royal Siena Siena is a charming town with slender cypress trees, terraces draped with olive trees and ancient stone walls. It’s a landscape straight out of a Renaissance painting. Sienna is loved for its bell tower overlooking the Chianti countryside and the charming cafe culture that begs you to relax, order a drink and soak up the Tuscan sunshine.
