The epicentre of the Roman empire and the birthplace of renaissance, Italy was and still is a very important and powerful European country. Only being united as a country in 1861, its 20 regions are more akin to individual states with different dialects, traditions, architectural styles and specialist cuisines. Of course Italian food is known the world over but nowhere is it better enjoyed than authentically in Italy itself.
From the colosseum and pantheon in Rome to the Duomo and Michelangelo’s ‘David’ sculpture in Florence, the country has an unparalleled amount of artistic treasures. The natural landscape of Italy is also extraordinarily diverse ranging from the Northern snow capped alps to the Southern sun drenched Amalfi coast. Life in Italy is very much about living well and indulging in the finer things, whether that be sipping a freshly ground coffee in a quaint cafe in Venice or shopping until you drop in the fashion capital of Milan.
