History, art, culture, and style - Italy's got it all!

Italy is a modern, industrialized nation, at the forefront of style, fashion and design. It is a Mediterranean country with a strongly family-oriented culture, and has more historical monuments than any country in the world, superb museums, and incredible cuisine. Visit Rome and the Vatican, go skiing in the Alps, and do try the ice cream (gelato) and espresso coffee. Combining the old and the new, Italians know how to live life to its fullest.
