Italy is a country that hardly
needs introduction. Its history is long and illustrious, its
art and culture is visible at every turn and its cities are
some of the most beautiful in the world. Add to this a beautiful
and varied landscape and one of the finest cuisines in the world
and you have a country with something to offer everybody. Famous
as the home of the Roman Empire, its antiquities include the
preserved town of Pompeii, the monuments of Rome itself and
countless other remains from both the Romans and earlier civilisations
such as the Greeks and the Etruscans. Venice, Florence, Verona
and Siena are just some of the beautiful cities that are packed
with art, architecture and culture that made them guiding lights
in the Middle Ages. From the Alps in the north to the Volcanoes
of Sicily the landscapes offer a wealth of activities, and after
a hard day a multitude of local wines and dishes offer the perfect
conclusion.
