Italy is one of the most culturally rich countries on earth. As the cradle if not of civilisation, then at least of organisation under the Romans (though you would not know that, travelling there now!), its rich history continued under the reign of the Popes, and in the spectacular flowering of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. It is also a country of superb food and wine, great music, and wonderful landscape. Benvenuto bello!
