After we completed our 2nd day tour of Gold Note, we boarded two vans headed south from Tuscany to our final factory tour located in the seaside and port city of Civitavecchia, home to Audia Flight and Alare Labs.

The next stop on our Italian HiFi Manufacturer’s Tour took us to Tuscany, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, Dante Alighieri, Giovanni Boccaccio, Niccolò Machiavelli, great wines, unreal landscapes, and Gold Note.

Our Italian journey began in Munich’s Hauptbahnhof on Sunday at 06:00 for the 6+ hour train ride to Venice’s Mestre Station, just one stop before Venice proper.

The oldest settler building in North America, the Palace of Governors in Santa Fe, dates back to 1610. The oldest building in Italy, the Pantheon in Rome, dates back to about 125AD.
