Italy from A to Z

Last summer I toured Italy from Rome to Venice with many more unforgettable sights in between: rugged mountains and scenic coastlines; great cities and delightful villages; and the master works of celebrated builders and artists. This diverse land has so much to offer the traveller. And now as April approaches, Italy has also provided me with a topic for each letter of the alphabet.





The month of April is time for the annual Blogging from A to Z Challenge. There are two aspects to the challenge: to come up with a topic for each letter of the alphabet; and to post every day of the month (except Sundays). I participated two years ago with a series of posts about my travels in France. This year I'm joining in with photos and posts about Italy. Here's a list of the topics I've planned:

 “A” is for Aperol
"B" is for Bell Tower
"C" is for Cicchetti
"D" is for Dome
"E" is for Eruption
"F" is for Forcola
"G" is for Gelato
"H" is for Hairpin Curve
"I" is for Inferno
"J" is for Juliet
"K" is for Krupp
"L" is for Lemon
"M" is for Majolica
"N" is for Nightfall
"O" is for Obelisk
"P" is for Peacock
"Q" is for Quarantine
"R" is for Red House
"S" is for Souvenir
"T" is for Taxi
"U" is for Unicorn
"V" is for Vivaldi
"W" is for Wishes
"X" is for X-Bones
"Y" is for Year
"Z" is for Zucchini





Beginning on the first of April, allow me to share with you my memories of Italy from Aperol through to Zucchini. And there may be a few surprises along the way. (That peacock isn’t your run-of-the-mill show-off!) For more information about the challenge, click on the A-Z banner in the sidebar.

    We had planned to spend about 6 weeks in Italy when we headed off around the world, but somehow that all changed and we ended up cruising around the country with only 4 days. I look forward to seeing it through your eyes. I am doing travel theme again this year too.

      You must have seen some wonderful things in your travels. There's so much more I'd like to see in Italy but I don't know if I'll get the chance to go back again. Too many places on my Bucket List!

    Awesome theme. I would love to visit Italy some day. I look forward to seeing what you feature each day. Our theme is similar but we are featuring different destinations in Australia.

    Was in Northern Italy in 2013, but last time in Venice and Rome was 1969. Don't know if I will ever go back as there are just so many places to see.

      I know what you mean, Denise. I'm always torn between discovering someplace new and returning to a place I love to experience more. I've been trying to do a little of both.

      Thank you, Chrys. Venice is such an interesting, beautiful place. The first time I went there it rained most of the time so I wanted to go back and last summer the weather was sunny and hot. Thanks for stopping by!

      Rome is definitely the place to be for Archaeology!
