Italy has an incredibly rich cultural history spanning many centuries. Birthplace of many of the world's greatest artists, it is home to many of its finest art treasures. Visit Florence to see Michelangelo's 'David' and original paintings by Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael and countless others, many contained in beautiful churches. The stunning Sistine Chapel is part of the Vatican complex in Rome, home to Pope Benedict XVI.
The ruins of ancient civilizations are in evidence throughout Italy, none more compelling than at Pompeii, overlooked by Mount Vesuvius, which erupted in 79 AD.
Venice's Rialto bridge and the Ponte Vecchio in Florence are instantly recognisable as two of Italy's most historic landmarks, not forgetting the Leaning Tower of Pisa!
