Certainly leading up to the 2023 biennial tournament, Italian Golf was not the first thought in the minds of many around the world. Architecture? Yes, of course. I dream of visiting Firenze and taking in the remarkable structure of Giotto’s Campanile or the beautiful façade of the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella, walking along the streets once used by the likes of Machiavelli or Dante Alighieri.
Food and drink? Without a doubt! A hot afternoon in a Tuscan villa, under a canopy, with a cool Pinot Grigio may be as good as life gets. Or is it that moment in Emilia Romagna, the Food Valley, having a typical Piadina filled in so many different ways or tasting great quality wines such as Pignoletto Sangiovese and Lambrusco?
