Italy Travel:

Italy Travel Railway travel is inexpensive in italy travel if you are rugged enough to endure the sardine-can pressures of second class or of the somewhat grueling third class, and there is quite a sheaf of special ticket bargains, which are frequently being supplemented by new ones. A special Sicily bargain, purchasable only outside italy travel, is popular every winter, granting (until May 31) a 25 per cent round-trip rail reduction (from the Italian border) to those who remain on the island 6 days or more. This ticket, let me repeat, must be bought outside italy travel, for example at the office of the Italian State Railways in New York (11 West 42nd Street). But I must once more stress the pleasant ribbons of CIAT as a feature of travel, and not expensive, that has become the thing in italy travel since World War II.

The five letters that spell italy travel contain, I think, more promise of variety in travel pleasures than any other five, or fifteen, that spell a country's name. In fact, this long, boot-shaped land (760 miles), its toe about to kick Sicily out of the map, is a complete alphabet of marvels. One could go around a circle of assorted friends of both sexes, all ages, all tastes—try it sometime—asking, "What do you like best about vacation travel? What do you chiefly want to see and do when you're abroad? Tell it straight, no answers barred." Whatever the response of each one, italy travel has it, in abundant measure, unless perhaps some hunter expresses a yearning for big game.


The first is the authorization by the Accademia Italiana della Cucina (Academy of the Italian Cuisine) of "Fine Cuisine" Signs to be conferred, as awards, upon restaurants of outstanding merit. The sign, in Italian, will read CUCINA ECCELLENTE, and will be worth watching for as you travel about italy travel. The second development is "The 23 Plan." Briefly, 23 luxury restaurants of italy travel have joined in a sort of affiliation, sponsoring the sale in the United States, through travel agencies, of meal vouchers, each of which entitles the purchaser to a full meal chosen from the whole menu of any of the affiliated establishments at a price of $3.75, including service charges and taxes, but not beverages.
