Italy can vaunt an enormous amount of treasures of culture and art. Paintings, statues, churches, buildings, palaces and fountains are a sparkling series of signs through which the visitor can reconstruct a civilization that really did change the world. Indeed, so many of the world’s historic and artistic assets are within its boundaries. Moreover, there is its extraordinary natural richness. In Italy there are a thousand ways to use your free time: practicing sports, cultivating hobbies, relaxing going to a concert, a play, a traditional festival, or a sporting event or by simply sitting in a bar and enjoying a cappuccino or a glass of good wine, or wandering around the beautiful towns, visiting churches, palaces, monuments, castles, archaeological sites, museums, galleries, squares and streets. Another great reason for coming to Italy is the desire to taste authentic Italian cooking.
So whether you’re enticed by the food at one of the best-known restaurants famous for their cuisine, or are quite happy to try the fare of the thousand small trattorie dotted around the country, you are sure not to be disappointed.
Italy plays a great geographical role thanks to its central location and to its capacity to attract participants from Europe, the Middle East, the Mediterranean Area and from Africa
