5 out of 5 stars Visions of Italy.......2007-06-28

Having visited our son who lives in Italy, this DVD is a treat.

I love Italy and her kind people. Visions of Itlay brings me back to the wonderful places we visited and makes me yearn to return as soon as I can.

The photography is wonderful, the music so Italian, and the narration is very nice. You almost feel you are there.

A delight from start to finish.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Aerial Videography.......2007-06-24

This DVD set is GREAT! The videography is wonderful and the narration very pleasant. It's so interesting to take a beautiful "tour" of Italy right in our living room!

4 out of 5 stars Now I must rent a helicopter!.......2007-06-04

Seeing this video which was photographed from a helicopter makes me want not only to tour Italy, but also to rent a helicopter and see everything as it was shown in this video. What a beautiful, scenic view of Italy. The music and narration were lovely and soothing. It's not only a great watch, but probably lowers one's blood pressure significantly.

5 out of 5 stars Stunning Aerial Views of Italy.......2007-05-17

Anyone who has ever been to Italy or dreamed of going, will appreciate the beauty of the cities and countryside of this spectacular country!

4 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Italian Panorama.......2007-05-15

This was a very nice way to experience Italy. The narrator had a lovely Italian accent, and I learned many new things about the Italian landscape. I cannot wait to see it in person.
