Italy Vacations - On Tour with Isabella Dusi - Emilia Romagna
On Tour with Isabella Dusi - Emilia Romagna
Italy vacations with Isabella Dusi in June Web Vision Italy arrived in Parma from Lucca. We'll cover the Tuscany hill towns with Isabella Dusi in another blog.
We stayed in Parma three days visiting Prosciutto di Parma farms, Parmigiano Reggiano farms, and balsamic vinegar distilleries.
Parma was our base for Emilia Romagna. We also traveled to Modena, but skipped Bologna this trip.
Sipping Brunello in Montalcino today enjoying our Italy vacation, while having a look at the Italy cutting room floor that the Web Vision Italy crew produced in Parma in June, and plotting 2009's productions from... can you guess where?
Parma's Piazza Garibaldi yellow color is native to Parma and the sun dial on the building makes Parma's centro storico one of the most picturesque squares in Italy.
The crew works hard to film, produce, edit, and post it on the web for the world's enjoyment. Our passion for Italy is really making the whole Web Vision Italy project possible and so much fun.
We have interns blogging and editing, being mentored by Hollywood video producers and directors, all contributing to a common passion about Italy.

Italy Travel: Montalcino-On Tour with Isabella Dusi
Our Italy Vacation is winding down after our week in Rome we are settled into Montalcino for a few days.
The light is beautiful here this time of year, of course the hills are always breathtaking. The Brunello is inspiring!
Our Tuscany hill town trip report may become a trip novel!
We are also in the Tuscan hill town of Montalcino visiting with Isabella Dusi, an Australian native now living in Montalcino with her husband Luigi. She is the author of Vanilla Beans and Brodo, she works to save the Church of San Pietro in Montalcino, which is full of Ventura Salimbeni masterpieces painted on silk, and a tour guide, which Italy travel vacations she combines the wonderful Italian culinary tradition, fine Italian art history by region, and Italy's political history to make the vacation in Italy travel that much more interesting.
Isabella Dusi invited the Web Vision Italy crew, photographers, etc. to join her on tour in Italy to bring our viewers new shows about Italy travel.
On Tour with Isabella Dusi is a series of Italy video television shows that we hope provides Italy travelers an idea of what to see and what to do when enjoying Italy vacations.
It's been a very busy 2008 with many programs slated for release in 2009. We started On Tour with ISabella Dusi in Tuscany back in April, then we traveled to the Italy's region of Emilia Romagna in June and ended in Veneto.
Some of these shows from Tuscany, Emilia Romagna, and Veneto are available now on our Italy travel television network Web Vision Italy. More Italy video is coming to Web Vision Italy all the time.
These shows provide a great route to follow along when traveling from Venice to Florence to Rome, with stops along the way at interesting sites in Italy.

Cadenabbia, Italy Right Now - October 2008 Lake Como and the Lakes Tour
Trains, boats, and planes. When we get to Italy, we'll be on a plane, a train, and a boat. Rome > Milan > Cadenabbia on Lake Como.
Join us for our travels to the Lake Country bodering the Alps, by train to Florence, by train to Rome, and train and car to Montalcino. Stay tuned.
It's a challenge to pack for 23 days in Italy in a 24 X 16 carry-on and a tastefuly large handbag, but incredebly liberating. Contents include 2 pair of black pants, a black dress, a body-hunging black skirt, a black cashmere sweater, a black cashmere sweater-wrap, several camisoles, and 1, repeat, 1 pair of comfortable evening shoes, a cashmere scarf, 1 pair earrings for day and a smashing pair for night, and one of your nicer necklaces, and that's it for jewelry.
How to streamline cosmetics. I'll be travelling to 5 different areas. The first day in each city, I have my hair washed and styled, thus eliminating packing any hair products, and I look and feel great. And I bring that which needs to be cleaned to the local lavanderia. By the way, your clothes will never be so pampered.
Hint. If you don't check a bag, you are ready for any flight cancellation - just take your bag and you are first in line at the substitute flight.
My 1 pet peeve: I bring my own airline-size down pillow and mini-size cashmere blanket. I am prepared for any uncomfortable terminal, any plane, any train, or hotel. When I am on vacation, it's all about me feeling good and the elimination of stress.
We are ready to board.

Montalcino: A travel back in time
In this hilltop village there lies history and culture that can be dated back to 9 A.D. This village is situated in the province of Siena a little west of Pienza. This picturesque village creates an ambiance of a simpler time. The meandering network of roads and alleys add to the rustic atmosphere. The medieval castle adds to the aesthetic beauty of the city. From atop the castle a view of the city and countryside is nothing less than breathtaking. The wine coming out of this quaint village is another amazing aspect. This Tuscan wine is nothing short of superb. The nutrients and environment of the Tuscan landscape creates a wine that pleases the mind, body and soul.
