If you ever begin to question the beauty of life and the greatness of humanity, go to Italy. Here everything is done with a passion. With Goodspeed visit a small trattoria in a small village and the chef will take you by the hand to share what she has learned from generations of cooks. Visit the Masters’ Gallery in the Uffizi Palace to feel the power of the works. Stroll the halls of the Vatican and get a sense of the influence on Western history. Italy is the cure for what ails you. In Rome’s Forum and Colosseum you will realize it is impossible to imagine the world of Augustus. While sitting in the stern of a vaporetti speeding through Venice, it’s hard not to pretend you are George Clooney or Sophia Loren. Be transported by the music of Puccini and Goodspeed will introduce you to his granddaughter Simoneta in Tore del Lago. A few days in Italy will restore your love of life.
