I think a good travel site that covers the world for hotel bookings, best rates, travel packages and airline tickets can be
found at: www.tripadvisor.com  it's a shame that the site does not include more photographs of the hotels it advertises.

Finding good holiday information, easily on the web, can be a bit of a struggle. So much information can be overwhelming! Word of
mouth is still a good way to gather information, particularly amongst friends. Good travel agents still have an important role to play
and can make travel arrangements easy for you to achieve. 

Traveling to Europe, and not just Italy, opens up to us all some of the great museum's and art collections of the world. 
Below I've included some web sites of Europe's most important museum's. It's a joy just to see images of their collections!

The British Museum: http://www.britishmuseum.org/        Rijksmuseum, Netherlands: http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/index.jsp

The Pompidou Centre in Paris: http://www.centrepompidou.fr/Pompidou/Accueil.nsf/Document/HomePage?OpenDocument&L=2 

Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Germany: www.kunsthalle-bielefeld.de

The National Gallery in London is without a doubt my favourite art gallery in the world, inside of which hangs one of my favourite
paintings, The Doge Leonardo Loredan (1501-4) by Giovanni Bellini: http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/
