Sweet. Awesome. Cool. Amazing. Hot. Whatever you call “the most fun your family ever had on vacation,” this is it. Learn about volcanoes, a blue grotto and pizza. See villages clinging to cliffs, a hidden beach, and yourself making paper. Try gelato, all kinds of pasta, and maybe even Pesce azzurro. Make a wish at the Trevi Fountain, explore long-ago streets that were buried in ash, and visit the residence of the Pope. Meet a gladiator in Rome’s ancient Colosseum, where you’ll learn about chariot races and epic battles. Climb the Spanish Steps, the winning design from one of the world’s first “reality contests” in 1717. Country-hop at the Vatican, the smallest independent state in the world. Learn about a boy and his dog at the time capsule known as Pompeii. Cruise in a private boat along the Amalfi Coast. Ride in a convertible car on the Isle of Capri, an enchanted Mediterranean island of dreams. Make your own Neapolitan pizza at a family-run countryside farm. Learn to dance the Tarantella, a twirling dance that inspired a spell in Harry Potter.
