Welcome to Italy: the land of divine art, ancient culture and earthly pleasures

Bright, colorful and never the same, Italy is the country without which modern European civilization would be very different. It seems that almost everything we know and love came from here: paintings, architecture, music, food — to name just a few. The bar was set high in ancient Rome, and it has remained there ever since.

What else could you do if your vineyards offered stunning views of the Alps, or if the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea were splashing at your feet? Whether you like it or not, you simply had to become Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Vivaldi, Puccini. Or at the very least, a decent master chef. And keep making this magnificent land proud.
