top. ___________________________ Nottonson: Profit or Passion Q: "What makes this trip different than just visiting Europe?" A: "Well, many people want to see Europe and they will often travel to many cities in as many days. It's really easier to buy a package of postcards because they don't ever have the chance to examine the culture, to get a feeling about the people. The Da Vinci Capers is a teaching/learning experience. It's partly about the culture and the people but it's even more about you. And that's what makes it fascinating." ___________________________ Starters – Traveling with Taste See our mention in the March

TestimonialsDa Vinci Capers is the perfect respite. A week that creates conducive conditions to bring your artistic and scientific sides, your right brain and left brain, and your intuitive and rational aspects back in balance. Besides being a feast for the psyche, the sensual, taste, texture, sight and hearing are all stimulated to an extraordinary degree. — Leonard
Shlain, M.D.,Author of the nationally best-selling
books: Art & Physics; Alphabet vs. the Goddess; Sex,
Time and Power; and the soon-to-be -released Leonardo's
Brain: The Split Hemispheric Roots of Creativity. Da Vinci Capers is a delightful master class in Sensazione, also known as La Dolce Vita! — Michael J. Gelb, Author
of the international best-selling book, _______________________ Da Vinci Capers - leave everyday behind and step into a new world, unleash your creative side, explore, test limits and savor every single, delicious moment - live Italian! After two trips, I still crave more, more, more... — J. Chandler, Gulf Breeze, FL ______________________ Da Vinci Capers is unlike any vacation you’ll ever take – the food, creative exposures and setting makes this a one-of-a-kind adventure! I’m not a “tour” person, but Da Vinci Capers is a must for the discerning traveler who wants an experience to remember. — C.K. Carstens, Longmont, CO ________________________ I came to realize that the process, and not the end product of each enterprise, created the magic and provided the exploration for the week. A dream week, far beyond anything I could have imagined or hoped for. — Mary Gilbert Palmer, Richmond, UT ________________________ If you fancy continuous learning, this is the perfect opportunity to explore new creative activities in an encouraging, non-threatening and highly inspirational environment. The fact that the program is held in Ravello, known for its cultural heritage and beauty, is icing on the case (or olives on the pizza!). — J. Kramer, Chicago, IL _________________________ The beauty of the land combined with the creative experience makes Da Vinci Capers a most unique program. The creative writing morning impressed me with the level of writing and Julio, the teacher, led us on a creative journey to the depths of our souls. — Carolyn Keyes Carstens, Chicago, IL _________________________ Bellissimo! I highly recommend Da VinciCapers for a unique travel experience – a fun and stimulating vacation! — J.

Barbara is a gem. — J. Becker, Manhattan ________________________ It’s not about Leonardo! It’s about you and your life. It’s about taking some new risks and waking up. It’s about slowing down so that you can speed up with passion. If ever you’ve wanted to stop, review your life and get some new energy and perspective, this is a fabulous way to do it. — Deb McClenahan, Vail, CO ________________________ Great get-away, lovely locale, well-organized and good sized group.

Bellissimo! — L. Fisher, Plymouth, MA ______________________ What a great way to meet the Italian people and, at the same time, expand our personal horizons. — Dr. Gene and Judy Bolles, Germany _________________________ For me, the most special part of Da Vinci Capers was the luxury of returning to a youthful state of mind, free to experiment without fear of failure. I mean, a 40-something lawyer doing charcoal sketches of olive trees, ordering fresh produce in Italian, and chiseling away at a slab of marble?! It was a week when anything was possible. — Jane Raskin, Miami, FL _______________________ Barb and Mike’s joy and passion for Italy’s finest offerings shine through creating a week’s worth of adventures, time for play, shopping and being Italian!

Stiller, Brookline, MA _________________________ It was a truly unique adventure that took a shy non-artist in me and made me inspired to live a more creative life.
