Italy is one of the most visited countries in the world. It has a fascinating culture rich in historical heritage. Imbedded
in the Roman history its saga is literally unmatched in the world. It is not only the coliseum and the Tower of Pisa that
attract visitors but its renaissance hides beneath centuries of the most famed painters and artists. Stray outside the main
cities and you can breeze through the hilltop towns atop rocky outcrops. Along the coast lie some of the best beaches in the
world. Central range provides a post card perfect setting for the world famous wine regions. . Italians have perfected the
art of hospitality. To top up the spice, Italian food and wine provide a sumptuous alternative to the outdoors. The city of
Venice in itself is a unique masterpiece
unrivalled in nature. Florence with its
art deco buildings, Rome with its history,
Naples with its beaches
and Milan boasting its fanciful elites,
dominates the cityscape. There are numerous monuments, art galleries, churches and plenty of history to go along with it. T
he main event comprises Festa di san Ginnaro and Maggio dei Monumenti that highlight the Christian routes of the country.
The Italian government has spent millions of dollars to promote tourism but it is the local flavor and charm that brings
back tourist to its laid back lifestyle. Take a high speed train and you can literally traverse the entire nation in a day
or stroll by the old alleyways and enjoy a Sfogliatelle while sipping the local favourite, Limoncello.
