Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Italy is the perfect destination if it’s romance you’re after. With its warm climates, slow pace of life, delicious food and wine on offer, and the Italian passion for ‘dolce far niente’ or ‘the sweet art of doing nothing’, there really is no better place to relax and enjoy being in the company of your loved one.

Detailed explanation-2: -Landscape is perhaps the paradigmatic conceit of the Romantic moment, permeating every aspect of the literature, art and music of the era. It features as more than just a setting, but conveys a complex set of ideas, moods and associations that are underpinned by a distinct philosophical perspective.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the leading Romantic landscape painters was the German painter Caspar David Friedrich, whose work is often related to the 18th century concept of the Sublime-the sensation we experience when confronted with the boundlessness of nature, or the immeasurable power of natural forces.

Detailed explanation-4: -With its emphasis on the imagination and emotion, Romanticism emerged as a response to the disillusionment with the Enlightenment values of reason and order in the aftermath of the French Revolution of 1789.
