Italy, with her unrivalled beauty and baffling contradictions, continues to seduce and enchant those who are drawn to her.

Italy, like the sorceress Circe, tantalizing beautiful and at the same time treacherous, has attracted kings, scholars, saints, poets and curious travelers for centuries. With 44 sites, Italy has more Unesco World Heritage sites than any other country on earth. Its great città d’arte (cities of art), like Rome, Venice and Florence, have been attracting visitors for centuries, and with good reason.
