Italia! Few other countries manage to evoke such a feast of emotions and images as this one. Situated in the south of Central Europe, the Italian Republic shares borders with Austria, France, Switzerland and Slovenia. In addition to the boot-shaped peninsula, the country also consists of several Mediterranean islands, including Sardinia and Sicily. For a significant part of Italy’s rich history, its current capital city was the center of politics within the West and the Roman Empire’s own capital. Later, following the decline of the Empire, Italy was attacked frequently by foreign countries.
The country’s contribution to the world’s culture heritage, particularly in the areas of architecture, art, music and literature, is immeasurable. Who doesn’t recognize the Leaning Tower of Pisa and that much-photographed scene of Florence, with its domes and bridges? And where would we be without Leonardo da Vinci? Many of the world’s most influential fashion designers are also based in Italy. Of course, there’s also the food and drink, which seem to be favored around the world; from the finest Chianti wine and the most flavorsome espresso to a deliciously seasoned tomato sauce on a Neapolitan pizza – Italy is a culinary paradise.
