Summer
The long beach of Forte dei Marmi shines in the white marble of the Carrara quarries hanging above, Capri’s coves disappear into the blue of its crystalline waters, and the square of Porto Cervo comes alive with chatter, laughter and shimmer of light; but an Italian superyacht will always be an excellent choice to dive into the summer. Unless music and culture take the lead: choose between Verona, where performances begin in the evocative setting of the Arena, and the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, filled with the sound of open-air opera. Yet, seeing the sunrise live from a hot-air balloon, and floating slowly above Tuscany, will hardly be beaten by any drone-mounted camera, especially if landing near Siena to experience the strong emotions of the Palio.
