Some examples of zodiac imagery in Italy include:
- The Zodiac Mosaics in the Villa Romana del Casale, Sicily
- The bell tower in Piazza San Marco, Venice
- Annibale Caracci’s zodiac-frescoed ceiling in the Palazzo Farnese, Rome

Aries (March 21 – April 19) – Florence

This is why Naples, a city of incredible natural beauty and delicious food is a great place for a Taurus to visit. From the famous Neapolitan pizza to fried street snacks to the sweet delights of sfogliatelle, Naples will tantalize Taurus’s tastebuds.

While in the Caput Mundi, Leo travelers can take in the city’s warm and vibrant energy by exploring ancient ruins, visiting the Vatican, and indulging in luxury shopping and Michelin-star dining.
