Italy, one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, is renowned worldwide for its incredible food, wine, culture, architecture, fashion, and stunning landscapes. This country has so much to offer, with many amazing cities and regions to explore and dozens of beautiful islands, making it a popular destination for couples and families.
Italy is divided into 20 regions, each with unique cuisine, language, architecture, and cultural influences. For example, Sicily was strongly influenced by Arabic, Turkish, and Greek cultures, while the north has long-standing traditions with the French, Austrians, Germans, and Swiss. Italy's profound military, political, and cultural influence is evident in numerous locations throughout the country.
Orvieto, Montepulciano, and Montalcino are walled medieval towns that hint at a feudal past. At the same time, the ruins at the Forum in Rome highlight the empire that influenced the Western world for centuries. No matter where you go in Italy today, you cannot help but marvel at the numerous historic monuments seemingly everywhere.
Italy is home to fantastic art capitals such as Rome, Florence, and Venice, in addition to countless other towns that boast artistic treasures. You will feel like walking through an open-air museum as you explore these cities. Historical centers of Florence, Venice, Rome, Milan, Turin, and numerous other cities, towns, and villages are great places to satisfy your architectural, historical, archaeological, creative, and religious interests.
Visiting Italy is like committing oneself to opening the heart, mouth, and eyes to life again. This is a country where "La Vita e' Bella" (Life is Beautiful) and "Under the Tuscan Sun" were filmed. Italy is home to La Dolce Vita, the sweet life, and where travelers come to rediscover themselves and their lust for life.
