Italy, simply the most beautiful country in the world.
For a thousand reasons. And as we write, a kaleidoscope of images passes through our minds. We are convinced that we live in the most beautiful country in the world because we were lucky enough to be born and raised here, and therefore we assume we know it best. Then, as we venture out and travel around the Bel Paese, we discover that we know very little about it.
How many Romans have never been inside the Colosseum or admired the Sistine Chapel? They have been there for centuries! How many Italians have seen all the UNESCO sites we host on our soil? Confess!
The power, variety and quality of Italy's beauty is so immense that it comes last in our planning. We also confess to the organisational complexity of ensuring services with consistent quality standards. The time has come: we have embarked on this journey convinced that the Elephant can inspire both our fellow countrymen and foreigners from all over the world who are looking for a slightly more original and less predictable Italy with high-end services. Like the elephant fountain, symbol of Catania, or Gian Lorenzo Bernini's elephant, which stands majestically near the Pantheon in Rome.
Enjoy your journey of discovery in Italy!
