<\/div>\n\n\n\n

No matter how many movies I\u2019ve seen or books I\u2019ve read about Italy, nothing quite compares to an actual road trip through the land of pasta, pizzas, cheeses and wines. And while no one can dispute the fact that the country as a whole is as much of a feast for your eyes as it is for your belly, the debate often centres on which route is best for a trip from Rome to Amalfi. Yet, after conferring with a couple of aficionados, we’ve come to the conclusion that arguably the most beautiful route would be via the coast. Filled with iconic sweeping views and unparalleled beaches, it’s truly a sight to behold. If you’ve been putting this off for a while, all we can say is non rimandare a domani quello che puoi fare oggi<\/em> \u2014 there’s no time like the present to take advantage of VTL Italy and live out your Luca<\/em> moment with this perfect Italy road trip itinerary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
