| About Italy |

|
| Italy stretches from the Alps, on its northern borders with Switzerland and Austria, down a thin peninsula to the Mediterranean in the south. Few countries can compete with Italy for its sheer wealth of art and architecture, not to mention music, literature, the culinary arts, fashion, and contemporary design. Ancient Roman ruins, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the buried Roman city of Pompeii, and the Greek temples in Paestum and Sicily, stand in stark contrast to the beautiful lagoon-city of Venice and the renaissance works of art in Florence and Tuscany. The country's landscape varies dramatically, from the alpine heights of the Dolomites and the Italian lakes in the north, to the olive groves and vineyards of the Tuscan and Umbrian countryside. The Italian peninsula is ever popular for its bathing beaches, and more rugged beauty is to be found in the south, and on the island of Sicily. |
