Flame-red Lamborghini in front of the factory
Known as the Land of Motors, northern Italy is home to some of the world's premier motor manufacturers. From Turin (home of Fiat), through Milan, Modena, and Bologna, if it has wheels and an engine, wears a "Made in Italy" badge and makes your pulse quicken, it was most likely crafted here.

How to...
Get Around

Ristorante Enoteca Metró
Restaurant
Via Crociferì, 76, Catania; Tel.: 095-322098
This gastronomic delight sits right near the top of Via Crociferì, with outdoor tables for fine weather dining. The food here is to die for: traditional Sicilian with a modern touch. Try the pasta alle vongole to start and go for the succulent tonno a cipollata (tuna steak topped with caramelized onions) as a main course. Finish with the pistachio and chocolate semifreddo. The wine list is great too.

Caffe' Giacosa at Roberto Cavalli
Cafe/Sandwich Bar
Via della Spada, 10r, Florence; Tel.: 055-2776328
Attached to the Roberto Cavalli store on via Tornabuoni is this caffe' that's very popular for their pastries and aperitivi - the Negroni cocktail (Campari, gin and sweet vermouth) was invented here. They also serve one of the best cappuccini town and you'll see lots of fashionistas, along with salespeople from the exculsive shops on via Tornabuoni who stop in for a quick stand-up plate of pasta at lunchtime. There are tables, too, a few outside on the sidewalk.
