EmailItaly
Italy, one of the world's most influential countries through the centuries, will almost certainly impact your intellect and sensibilities with its history, art, architecture and, of course, cuisine. Many of its sites are household names, but seeing them will be different.
“Every picture that I took that day looks like it belongs on a postcard or in a travel magazine; not because my photography skills are that impressive, but because everything in Italy is simply that beautiful.”
The cradle of the Roman Empire, Italy later endured invasion after invasion, fragmenting, then reunifying and re-establishing itself as a world power. Today, like many European countries, Italy revels in its past as it hosts admiring visitors from around the world.
