ITALY, Il bel paese

Goethe wrote 'If you are walking or standing still, landscapes of all kinds appear before your eyes, often so crammed that you can draw them on a single sheet'.

Italy is known worldwide for a variety of reasons. Great food and wine, stunning landscapes, beaches and relaxation. Beautiful architecture to name but a few. The country is packed with a variety of coasts, mountains, hills, fields, archeological sites and museums.

Italy is situated on the southern border of Europe and her peninsula, with surrounding islands, reaches almost to the coast of Africa. This geographical position is what makes Italy really interesting as the different civilizations which have made Italy their home left behind a piece of their history.

Italy is the fourth most visited country in the world, More than 40 million foreigners touch down to visit some of the most amazing places in the world during just one year. Half of the world's historic and artistic assets are within its boundaries (UNESCO).
