The lovely city of San Remo, Liguria is a major tourist destination on the Italian Riviera. The Sanremo Music Festival is Europe's oldest music fesival, starting in 1951. This is the place where many of Italy's top pop music performers made their name. It will run from February 14 to February 18, 2012. I can't think of a better place to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Carnevale (also known as Carnival) is a great experience, especially in Italy. Check out our special section at http://www.travelitalytravel.com/Italian_carnivale_season.php . For many jet setters THE CARNIVALE is held in Venice from February 11th through February 21st. Of course not all events are musical but many are. You won't find much free here.

Levi Reiss has authored or co-authored ten books on computers and the Internet, but to be honest, he would rather just drink fine Italian or other wine, accompanied by the right foods. He teaches classes in computers at an Ontario French-language community college. Visit his website www.travelitalytravel.com devoted to Italian travel with an accent on fine Italian wine and food. Visit his central wine website www.theworldwidewine.com with weekly reviews of $10 wine and columns devoted to various aspects of wine including wine and food, humor, trivia, organic and kosher wine and lots more.
