^Lovely Places of Italy: driving along Amalfi coast

Italy is one of the biggest nations in Europe with 60 million inhabitants, making it the sixth country with the highest population in Europe. Some of its neighbouring countries are Austria, San Marino and Switzerland. Italy is also known as a country that is shaped like a boot. This country is really rich in history as well as its natural beauty and there will always be something to be seen for everyone who came here.

To get to Italy, the best way would be by airplane. A lot of international airports are available in this country where the busiest one would be the Rome-Fiumicino “Leonardo da Vinci” Airport and Rome Ciampino “Giovan Battista Pastine” Airport where they are both located in Rome, the capital city of Italy. If you prefer to run away from the big crowd, you can always opt to take a flight to these other airports like Naples-Capodichino Airport and Treviso-Sant’Angelo Airport.

It is not hard to find a good car hire company in Italy as the airports here all have car hire Italy, a car hire company that is regarded as the best one for its field. A lot of cars are available for hire with cheap prices that are affordable to all kinds of tourists.

Spiaggia di Tuerredda – A Bucket-List Worthy Destination

written by Marie

The beach is, perhaps, the most sought-after travel destination by vacationers, beach bums (obviously!), and families seeking to enjoy wholesome fun and relaxation that’s fit for people of all ages. In fact, tourism in many countries thrives because of the influx of tourists to various beach destinations. In Asia, there’s Bali in Indonesia, Phuket in Thailand, Amanpulo and Boracay in the Philippines. There’s Cape Town in Africa, and California and Florida in the United States.

All these places have one thing in common – beautiful, breathtaking, and captivating beaches. Hence, it’s not surprising that tourists flock to these places all year round. Of course, Greece, Australia, and Italy boast of beautiful beaches, if not the most picturesque too.

spiaggia di tuerredda

A particular municipality in the province of Cagliari in the Italian region of Sardinia called Teulada is home to Spiaggia di Tuerredda (Teurredda Beach).

Spiaggia di Tuerredda lies on a beautiful bay between Cape Malfatano and Cape Spartivento. If it were your first time to see the beach, you would think you’re looking at a captivating Caribbean landscape because of its clear and fine sand, as well as the clear waters of the sea that’s almost transparent. It’s little wonder, then, that it is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia.

The beauty and prestige of the Casino de Venezia

written by Marie

As technologies get better, many video games are able to provide experiences that are that much closer to the real thing. This isn’t to say that the real world allows many opportunities for you to suddenly pull off grinds with your skateboard on the edges of multi-story structures; but a skateboarding game’s digital representation of it could look and sound real enough to really sell the fantasy.

Online casino games are definitely among those in the gaming industry that strive to provide its patrons with an experience as similar to brick-and-mortar gaming establishments as possible. Many gaming companies are even getting bigger doing so.

gondolas and more

Online casino games developer IGT – whose many titles are featured on gaming distributor site castlejackpot.com – has just further expanded its empire into a more significant Asian market. Known for its pioneering work on games that utilize actual live video feeds, IGT is all too familiar with the merits of authentic digital simulations.

Nonetheless, it must be said that there are still some things which virtual facsimiles have yet to recreate faithfully: the din and texture of a physical game room provided by the living, breathing patrons that populate it; and more importantly, the intangible air of prestige that the best of these gaming places carry.

Ca Vendramin Calergi

Especially of the latter, the Casino de Venezia has in spades, precisely because it’s the oldest gaming place not just in Europe, but in the world. Housed in the Ca’ Vendramin Calergi palace which was constructed at the height of the Renaissance, the Casino de Venezia’s classical trimmings recalls the bygone days when pompous grandeur seemed to be the norm.

Further adding to its exceptional aura is the romantic tinge provided by its location along the world-renowned canals of Venice. There’s a certain kind of feeling that the image of a Venetian gondola ride brings, especially when contrasted with the more modern modes of transportation of the rest of Italy.

By and large, it’s the ambiance more than anything that separates a night out at the Casino de Venezia from the usual online gaming fare; but it’s a separation that just has to be traversed by the true gaming aficionado.

I’ve said so many times how Venice is not only the City of Bridges or the City of Waters, it can also be called the City of Windows. Palladian style of architecture can be easily seen as among the buildings in Venice and mostly in Italy. It is a style inspired by Venetian architect Andrea Palladio’s own work; that which is recognised as Palladian architecture today is an evolution of Palladio’s original concepts. His work was strongly based on the symmetry, perspective and values of the formal classical temple architecture of the Ancient Greeks and Romans.

The Charm of Venetian Windows.
