We're off to Anzio by the sea, for a visit to its historic museum, a light seafood lunch and then gelato-making at a private seaside home! 

Anzio's museum features both gorgeous artifacts from ancient Roman times and items from the Allied landing at the end of WWII. Seaside restaurant La Vela Latina has proposed a menu of assorted seafood appetizers, tagliolini pasta with seafood, water, wine -- and limoncello to finish. Finally, an expert from a famous local ice-cream parlour will provide a scrumptious lesson in making real Italian gelato.
