The beautiful scenery, the climate, the great out-door
life-style and the delicious food. Discover here 'La Dolce Vita'!
Driving for hours through the undulating landscape, past vin yards, lakes
and coastlines, enjoying the beautiful scenery? Slowly making your way through
old villages or beautiful towns like Venice, Rome or Florence and enjoying
the architecture, art and culture? Or just lazily relaxing with a glass
of wine and delicious Italian meal on a lovely terrace?
Every visitor will undoubtedly be able to find something to his or her liking
in a country oozing with culture and history, beautiful countryside and
on top of all that it's famous cuisine! Just think of all of those wonderful
pastas, the wine, or the Italian ice cream...
But the most valuable asset of this country has to be it's enormous artistic
and cultural inheritance, which can bee seen in the many art treasures and
the greatness this country has produced in the areas of culture and art.
In not only painting, architecture and sculpture, but also in music, literature
and for example design.
Think of Rafaël, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli. Or Rossini,
Puccini, Verdi, Vivaldi and Monteverdi. With all of it's art treasures scattered
across the whole country, Italy is also sometimes referred to as an open
air museum. Make a trip through this picturesque composition of scenery
and culture…
