                                       on this drive is special. The great
                                       treasures of Rome, Florence and
                                       Venice are amazing but, for me, it’s
                                       the lesser-known highlights that
                                       make this such an incredible trip –
                                       Modena’s stunning Romanesque
                                       cathedral, the Cappella degli
                                       Scrovegni in Padua, and Verona’s
                                       gorgeous medieval centre.
