How many times have you, walking down the street, been particularly attracted by the decor of a bar and after a few minutes you were inside, sipping a cup of coffee? The decoration of a café is an important business card and for this reason it must be treated in detail and is also important in the case of activities open for a long time to be renewed. It's well known that all this requires a considerable budget and it could happen that such costs can't be afforded.

But if Italy can be satisfied with respect to the catastrophic initial estimate it's only thanks to Italian tourists, who have decided to remain in the Beautiful Country boycotting foreign destinations and limiting the damages related to the absence of large part of overseas tourism.
By surprise, the less "popular" regions such as Sicily and Apulia result the most favourite destinations to the detriment of the great tourist centers of northern Italy.
Good results also for Tuscany, famous for its landscape and its excellent wine production. Travelling in Tuscany making touring trips in contact with nature seems one of the most appreciated desires for the holidays of this year.
