About Italy
We believe that Italy is the most
beautiful country in the world.
There are a few facts we can tell you
about Italy, and citations we can make,
but the history, art, architecture and
culture of this nation we cannot
possibly attempt to describe in a few
short sentences, or even a few volumes
of literature. To know Italy, you
must go to Italy and if you are one of
the privileged few who can stay there,
it will take you all of your life, if
you don't give up trying, to understand
what this country is really about.
