The first Coffee shops were opened in Trieste during the second half of the eighteenth century. They immediately took on an unmistakable Viennese connotation in their interior decorations and in the services they offered. Trieste has a feature unique within Italy: the traditional Viennese-style coffee house but it was thanks to the cosmopolitan spirit of the city that the coffee tradition became so popular.
The Thermae Antoninianae, one of the largest and best preserved ancient thermal complexes, were built in the southern part of the city under the initiative of Caracalla.
The Baths were not just a building for bathing, sports and the care of the body but also a place for walking and for study.
Located between the Rapido and Gari rivers, just 130 km from Rome, Cassino is best known as the site of the Abbey of Montecassino and the Battle of Monte Cassino during World War II.
Autumn is the perfect season to visit Italy and involves all the senses.

It is one of the largest European ceramic collections: the MIC or Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche has wonderful rooms filled with classical Greek, Roman and Etruscan ceramics, Renaissance majolica, exotic pottery from Africa and the Far East, and wares from faraway lost cultures. The MIC (international museum of ceramics) was a recently recognised symbol monument of peace culture by UNESCO.
