Porto Santo Stefano, Italy

Tucked against the slopes of Monte Argentario lies a fishing town that’s relatively new—by Italian standards.

Day 9

Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy

Whether it’s tossing a coin in a fabled fountain or being awestruck by the magnificence of St. Peter’s Basilica and Michelangelo’s masterpieces, Rome seems to live up to its sobriquet, the Eternal City.
