I am incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to travel the world continually, both nationally and internationally. Many of my fantastic experiences are when I am out of the country. I have a massive amount to share from my post-sequence visit to Italy. Unfortunately, there is no way to include hundreds of photos in a few posts. Nor do I choose to hold the details of my extraordinary and incredible travels all to myself. NOWAY! So, here goes to EXPLORING ITALY PART 1 – JEWELS OF ITALY.

As I reminisced while collecting photos for this post, I understood why it was named The Jewels of Italy. It was the perfect name because I stepped my pretty little feet on several cities' soil, such as ROME, PISA, FLORENCE, VERONA, and VENICE – OMG, there were countless jewels. However, I saw many stylish decorative objects uniquely designed from various delicious foods, massive architectural structures trimmed with gold, extraordinarily bold and colorful artwork, delicately carved landscapes, and diverse mixed cultures. It was and still is beyond words.

Moreover, I am beyond excited to share one of my many obsessions. What is it? I am obsessed with these types of architectural details. There were many to see while in Italy, and each had a unique style, ornate and intricately carved details, a variation of height, width, and vivid color. They were and are, indeed, works of art.

If you guessed that I would feature some of the most stylish, detailed, and stunning doors throughout Italy and its surrounding cities, you guessed correctly.
