Italy is certainly one of the most spectacular European countries to visit.  When we were invited to attend Modenus Blog Tour Milan, we were thrilled!  The culture, art, food, wine, shopping, museums, churches, piazzas, architecture and...........THE MEN!!

As you can see, I became a bit obsessed with the men.  Not only are they handsome, they are stylish, romantic and classy!   Just so you know,  I am a very happily married woman to a handsome, wonderful man but I also happen to be HUMAN!!

If you are even "considering" visiting Italy, don't give it a second thought - just GO!!

A huge thanks to our wonderful sponsors:

Tanti Baci,
