Eat authentic Italian pizza

Bite into the original — a 60-second wood-fired margherita in the city that invented pizza

Eat Roman pizza two ways — wafer-thin tonda al taglio by weight, or the crisp round pizza romana

Queue at the 1870 Naples pizzeria the world calls the best — two pizzas on the menu, both perfect

Eat at the world's first pizzeria, frying and firing pizzas in Naples since 1738

A city built on water with no cars — gondolas, Byzantine mosaics, and getting happily lost in the back canals

The 50,000-seat amphitheatre where Rome staged its bloodiest spectacles for 2,000 years

Climb 251 spiralling steps up the world's most famous architectural mistake — tilting since 1173

Glide the back canals by gondola — touristy, yes, but silent, ancient and unrepeatable anywhere else
