Itinerary Summary:Explore Italy with this small group tour! We will be living like a local for &nbsp;11 days. You will spend 3 nights in Venice, a day in Florence, and 7 nights at the Verrocchio Art Center in Casole d'Elsa.&nbsp;This retreat promises an immersive Italian experience like no other. You will walk the canals of Venice, visit St. Marks Square, go on a guided tour of the Doge's palace, and float down a canal on a gondola ride!&nbsp;After two nights in Venice, we will ride the bullet train to Florence spend the day in the market and visit the Santa Maria Cathedral and Basilica.&nbsp;That evening we will be picked up by a hired driver to take us to the Verrocchio Art Center in Casole d'Elsa. This magical medieval village is known for its art and beautiful views and we will be staying in a historic building that was renovated and turned into an art center in 1980. It was built for retreats with 9 bedrooms, two painting studios, a sculpture studio, a terrace, a library, and a commercial kitchen to host small classes that want to visit Italy from all around the world! We will spend the next 7 nights here exploring the stone-paved streets of Casole D'Elsa, enjoying the beautiful landscapes, playing with paint, learning to make pasta and so much more! (Please download the itinerary for a full breakdown of each day's plans.)&nbsp; Dive Into your Artistic Journey:Our beginner art class will open your eyes to the beauty around you. &nbsp;Art is for everyone and everyone should experience creating something from nothing. Learn essential drawing skills, color mixing, composition creation, and even photography tips to capture your explorations. Enjoy five art sessions during your stay at the Verrocchio Art Center, complete with all necessary art supplies. We will be keeping a creative journal for all of our artwork that we are inspired to make while we are here. There is no pressure and no stress with my art classes. This is your chance to open up and just see what you create.&nbsp; Cultural and Culinary Delights:Indulge in wine and food tasting experiences, including a day trip to local agriturismo, Erta, with a private four-course meal. Participate in guided tours of art museums, city tours, and savor catered dinners by local chef, Loredana Russo at the Art Center. &nbsp;You will also get hands-on experience in a pasta-making class where you will make the tagliatelle noodles and sauce from scratch!
