A small, quiet, and well-heeled city, Ravenna has brick palaces, cobblestone streets, magnificent monuments, and spectacular Byzantine mosaics. The high point in its civic history occurred in the 5th century, when Pope Honorious moved his court here from Rome. Gothic kings Odoacer and Theodoric ruled the city until it was conquered by the Byzantines in AD 540. Ravenna later fell under the sway of Venice, and then, inevitably, the Papal States.

Rooms with a view are the rule rather than the exception in this spectacularly sited hilltop town.

Mantova has long seemed to have something in the water that inspired artists and musicians.

Visit their primary residence, the Palazzo Ducale, in the city’s historic city center.

If Italy were a meal, Modena would be the main course. Here, on the flat plains of the slow-flowing Po, lies one of the nation's great gastronomic centres, the creative force behind real balsamic vinegar, giant tortellini stuffed with tantalising fillings, and sparkling Lambrusco wine. It boasts backstreets crammed with some of the best restaurants no one's ever heard of, and one, Osteria Francescana, that everybody's heard of – it was awarded top spot on the coveted 'World's 50 Best Restaurants' list in 2016, and again in 2018, the first Italian restaurant to nab the honour.

Why the ROMA? It is our original, round-toe ballet flat. It is a timeless shape, designed for comfort. Structured at the toe, heel + sole, it provides a greater level of support than typical flats. Extra padding under the insole provides an additional layer of comfort. Design your pair in any color or material you choose.

VIAJIYU shoes are handmade in Tuscany by a second generation family of Italian shoemakers. We use the world’s finest goatskin. Goatskin is naturally waterproof + super soft for luxury shoes. It comes in six textures + hundreds of colors. VIAJIYU is slow, sustainable fashion with ethically-sourced ingredients. 100% made in Italy.

Pro tip: The ROMA runs small. Try a 38.5 if you are a USA 8.

Design tip: The drawstring bow is optional. Forgo the bow or opt for a bigger bow clip.
