Cinque terre (in english five lands) consists of five small villages Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. The Cinque Terre, thanks to the geographic and anthropomorphous characteristics of the territory , are one of the main natural tourist attractions of Italy.
The Taj Mahal, one of the primary sites and attractions in India, is a superb example of Mughal architectural design – a style that makes use of Indian, Persian, and Turkish detailing. The massive complex was built in the mid-part of the seventeenth century by order of Shah Jahan, who commissioned the building of the impressive mosque to honor the memory of his wife—his third spouse—Mumtaz Mahal.
Manarola is a marvelous village set along the eastern layer of the Apennines and the Ligurian sea, and it’s one of the so-called Cinque Terre. The typical multicolored, genoan-style houses, the presence of the little river Groppo, and the unique location of a complex built on the ridge of the mountain, creates a stunning and unbelievable picture.
Bologna is one of the most important Italian cities for history, culture, and economy, located in the middle of Padana plain, between the two rivers Reno and Savena. The geographic position has always been basic for its economic role: the large number of canals (now buried), the short distance to the sea, and the presence of the biggest plain in Italy, made Bologna a sorting center for this part of Europe.
The lake shared by the municipalities of Como and Lecco, has always been attracting people since the Roman Era: Pliny the Elder, Pliny the Younger, Winston Churchill, Vincenzo Bellini, Lord Byron, Alfred Hitchcock, the directors of movies like 007 – Casino Royale and Star Wars – The Phantom Menace, just to have an idea of this impressive location, rewarded by UNESCO as World Heritage in 2003.
