Jenny Cahill-Jones, senior online editor at Rough Guides says,

“2019 is giving us more reasons than ever to head to Italy to explore its cultural riches, not only can visitors enjoy the major art exhibition that takes place every two years, the Venice Biennale, but it is also the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death. Rough Guides wants to use this opportunity to encourage people to travel to Italy and learn more about how it has contributed to history, art, and culture in the past and still continues to do so.”

Activities on the Rough Guides trip itinerary includes going to see some of the contemporary art installations at the Venice Biennale, visiting the Castello Sforzesco to see Leonardo da Vinci’s newly revealed mulberry tree mural (that’s been hidden from view for 500 years), and going for a boat ride on Lake Como.

The itinerary can be booked through Rough Guides as it is or can be customised to suit the travellers’ needs.
