ITALIAN envy often kicks in at this time of year. Sunshine, fantastic food, awe-inspiring culture, beautiful people. We're not saying Manchester can't compete but it's a rare occasion when you can sit outside on Exchange Square in early spring, sipping an espresso and surrounded by folks who all look like they model for Vogue in their spare time.

The winners of this competition can swap the streets of Manchester for the piazzas of Milan, Verona or Venice, temporarily at least. Monarch are giving away a pair of return flights from Manchester to your choice of these three Italian cities.

Monarch fly from Manchester to Italy from just £39 one-way including taxes. And right now, you can get £10 off all return flights to Italy from Manchester, using the discount code NEW2012. Find out more.

So even if you don't win, la dolce vita is a lot more accessible than you think.
