Everything has already been
told about Florence, the city

seduced by the visible magic
of the city.

NEW YORK
Enjoying a cocktail
from the top floor of a
skyscraper with stunning
views, going shopping
among the most famous
“Fashion Avenues” of the
world, having a picnic
and a walk in Central

watching shows of lights
, horn, smoke, led signs,
and getting lost in the
multiethnic crowds who,
at any time of the day
and night, frantically
populate the streets of the
metropolis par excellence:

VENICE
(Italy)
Art, culture and beauty in a
harmonious fusion of lights,

waters of the lagoon, creating
bright lights with its colorful
History, a place able to dress
up with superb Carnival masks
invading bridges, islands,
channels...
involving anyone...
New York in Chinese version is
what you can see during the Lunar
New Year, or Spring Festival, an
event that turns the city into
the colors of the Chinese people
traditions, probably the most
important after the one of Beijing.

MODATURISMO is a monthly magazine distributed online, where travels
and trends are the focus from which reportage and columns are drawn
and inspired, to give the reader an overview of the most beautiful and
enchanting locations of our land, which reflects the major aspects of the
historic, artistic and cultural sites to visit, as well as traditions, typical
local cuisine and everything that may be of any interest to the tourists.
The contents are offered through many nuances and communication
skills, ranging from the clear description of the locations to the “narrative”
of evocative moments on behalf of those who have already been there;
“travel notes”, holidays surveys that will allow you to discover and reveal
the emotions that those countries are capable of rousing when chosen as a
destination for leisure, weekend and relaxing moments.
In the pages of our publication the reader will find, in addition to reports
about Italy and the five Continents, interesting focus on art, culture,
food, furniture, film, fashion & lifestyle. These are ideas, proposals, tours
concerning the latest trends.
The most beautiful places in the world are presented through slices of
life, art and culture, highlighting the uses, customs and traditions, offering
several news and information to tourists (useful info on each location), in
order to know exactly how to get to the place, how to move around to visit
museums and sights, where to stay, where to eat, where to go shopping.
The info gives an overall view of the place, so that you can plunge into a
world made of colors, images, emotions, lights, but also news, directions
and advice.
We believe that the visual impact is essential and, along with the texts, it
can really represent the geographic dimension we propose.
The columns, vice-versa, offer the most fascinating and curious news on
design, fashion, art, film and technology.
Finally, the section “Geoflash” is appealing with its photographs of the
five continents, which introduce interesting locations, sometimes not very
popular.
Distributed throughout Italy and abroad, the monthly magazine is made in
two versions: in Italian and in English.
On behalf of the editorial staff, I hope you will enjoy your reading and wish
you all magical trips combining relaxing, fun, discovery and adventure, in
unique and fantastic locations!

If you stay in Paris, the beautiful capital city of
France, and do not find time to visit one of most
visited museums of fine arts in the world, you are
not excused.
We mean the Musèe du Louvre or the Louvre
Museum, located where a fortress used to be and
where, after it, Francis I had a Palace built in 1546,
which was sporadically inhabited by the sovereigns.

Before becoming a museum, the Correale was the
summer residence of the family Correale, called
“Villa alla Rota”. The villa was built around 1700
in the area known as “Circus alla Rota,” including
three citrus groves and some farms; then in this
Rota area a building was made, which would later
become a Museum.
