Italia Lifestyle

"Poi mi prende l'emozione/ Per Firenze che sta là/ Per Venezia che si muove/ E l'eterna Roma è qua/ Italia, Italia/ Di terra bella uguale non ce n'è/ Italia,Italia/ Questa canzone io la canto a te"

(Then I feel the emotion of Florence that is there / of Venice that moves / and of the eternal Rome that is here / Italy, Italy, a country with no equal / Italy, Italy / This song is dedicated to you)



The words of the refrain of one of the Italian singer Mino Reitano's (1944-2009) most famous songs. Highly patriotic, and at the same time, very true! There is no more appropriate time of year to visit Italy: every moment is perfect to discover a land that has made diversity in tourism one of its strengths! Beautiful natural landscapes, archaeological sites of global significance, snowy peaks and ski facilities at the forefront, crystal clear sea, with more than 43 UNESCO World Heritage sites, museums, architectural gems, works of art, culture and literature unique in their kind, a culinary tradition, very popular and imitated worldwide, with a wide range of local products and local specialties, a strong culture of beauty in an artistic sense and the good life ...
