I LOVE MY COUNTRY
I love my country because of its natural and
generally pleasant climate. Italy has always attracted visitors...
‌its extensive beaches provide great opportunities for seaside holidays and the sunny snow-clad Alps offer excellent skiing.
Travelling around Italy is always a “tour artistique�. There are a lot of artistic treasures spread all over the country.
These treasures of art and culture make Italy the first country in the world for
numbers of sites included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage list.
These treasures can be found almost everywhere and they refer to every historical period.
They are preserved and protected in hundreds of archaeological sites and over 3,000 museums scattered throughout the country.
In Tuscany we can find theatres and
buildings which date back to Greek and Roman times, cities, roads, temples,
statues, coins and inscriptions.
The imposing Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals are found mainly in the centre and in the north of Italy.
Renaissance art was a great cultural movement, which began in Italy in the 15th century and influenced the history of culture and European civilisation.
The main artists were Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Masaccio, Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, Mantegna, Donatello, Raffaello, Antonello da Messina, Bramante, Correggio and Tintoretto‌
‌all artists, sculptors, painters or architects who have become known as the world’s greatest exponents of artistic genius.
There is also, of course, the country’s enormous cultural inheritance: Tuscany alone has historical monuments than any country in the world;‌
‌there are considerable remains of the Roman Empire all over the country.
Italy combines art, history and contemporary fashion with stunning natural landscapes:...
…the turquoise waters of the Smeralda Coast offer one of Europe’s most beautiful stretches of sand, sea and sunshine,…
‌while the snow-covered slopes of the Dolomite mountains are a magnet for winter sports enthusiasts.
Travelling to Italy offers modern, old & ancient culture, fabulous food, historic cities and sites and ruins, varied and stunning scenery, beaches,‌
‌warm sunny weather, architecture, opera, water sports, spas, and shopping for cloth, shoes and designers goods.
In addition to famous cities such as Venice, Genoa and Naples‌
‌there are romantic medieval hill towns, such as San Gimignano in Tuscany, and unspoilt fishing villages, like the unforgettable Positano on the Amalfi Coast.
