Historic Italy is a
delightful place to visit. Whether you're interested in the ceiling fresco
in Ducale Palace, in Mantua, or the cathedral of Orvieto, or the serene
harbour of Sorrento, Italy has something to offer for everyone. Italy looks
like a long boot-shaped peninsula, which extends southeast from the Alps
into the Mediterranean, with the striking islands of Sicily and Sardinia
offshore.
Magnificent remains
like the Colosseum of Rome is one of the most famous buildings of the
ancient Roman Empire, the Pantheon of Rome is another site worth visiting.
Those who come to Italy for ancient ruins and historic buildings will not
be disappointed.
