Aerial + Timelapse Travel Video: The Best Of Italy
The best of Italy by drone and timelapse.
Venice – It’s hard not to fall in love with the romantic set up of Venice. Everywhere you look is a picture opportunity worthy of a postcard. The best way to see the city is to explore it by gondola on its gorgeous canals. Be sure to check out the bustling city hub at the Piazza San Marco and the Basilica of St. Mark.
Amalfi Coast – Want to sip your favorite drink as you enjoy the vibrant blue hues of the Mediterranean? If so, the Amalfi Coast is the ideal destination for you. This paradise is adorned with towering cliffs, sunbathers, and charming multicolored fishing villages. It’s definitely the perfect place to live by the Italian philosophy, La Dolce Vita (‘the sweet life’).
Rome – You will surely not run out of things to do in Italy’s biggest city. A top pick among many backpackers despite its steep prices, Rome is undeniably one of the most gorgeous cities in the world. You will be missing out if you do not make time to see the fantastic Colosseum, the biggest amphitheater of the ancient Roman Empire. As you look at its vastness, you can almost hear the loud roar of the audience as they watch the greatest gladiators fight. Additionally, Rome is also filled with tons of attractions such as churches, fountains, and museums. It is truly a place you should immerse yourself in at least once in your life.
Verona – If you’re a fan of Romeo and Juliet, you’ve probably heard about the town of Verona. Aside from being the setting to arguably the most popular love story of all time, Verona has a variety of medieval structures. Don’t forget to see Casa di Giulietta or Juliet’s House and leave a love note on its courtyard walls. Siena Unlike other major cities in Italy, this charismatic city is not packed with thousands of tourists. Siena boasts some of the most beautiful old structures in the country and is popular for its bareback horse races. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can climb up the civic palace to see the view of the entire town.
Milan – No visit to Italy is complete without walking along the streets of Milan. If you love to shop, this fashion center is the place to be. Here, you can live like royalty as you shop till you drop and immerse yourself in its vibrant art and culinary scene.

COCKTAILS WITH A CURATOR: “TITIAN’S ARETINO” (VIDEO)
In this week’s episode of “Cocktails with a Curator,” celebrate the 444th anniversary of Titian’s death by delving into the tumultuous life of Pietro Aretino, one of the most celebrated—and reviled—literary figures of the Italian Renaissance. Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon examines Titian’s portrait of Aretino at the Frick and the friendship between the Venetian painter and the acid-tongued writer, known to his contemporaries as the “scourge of princes.” This week’s complementary cocktail is the Bellini, a mixture of Prosecco and white-peach puree created by the Cipriani family in Venice and named for Titian’s teacher, Giovanni Bellini.
Tiziano Vecelli or Vecellio, known in English as Titian, was an Italian painter during the Renaissance, considered the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno. During his lifetime he was often called da Cadore, ‘from Cadore’, taken from his native region.
