It’s February, which can mean only one thing in Italy – Carnevale. Cities and towns all over the country are lit up with lively events and celebrations, usually involving costumes or brightly decorated processions. Italy is definitely the place to be this month, and you can get the flavour of what’s going on in our news section.
Elsewhere in the magazine, we visit the magical island of Capri, a real summer hotspot, but did you know it has a flourishing artistic side as well? Take a guided tour with writer Laura Thayer to discover the delights for yourself. We take a look at Venice through the photographer’s lens, with a masterclass of easy techniques to get the perfect shots from your next visit.
