Italy is famous throughout the world for its beauty, with a unique natural
environment and historical and artistic heritage, to such an extent that it is
called ‘ il bel Paese’ [beautiful country]. Its cities of artistic renown
still bear indelible witness to the country’s history, culture and artistic
millennia. In Italy there are various ways of spending one’s free time: taking
up a hobby, practising a sport, going to concerts or plays and attending folk or
sports events; visiting cities and towns renowned for their artistic treasures,
squares and roads, churches, buildings, archaeological sites, museums or
enjoying the pleasures of shopping, sitting relaxing with friends in a bar
sipping a cappuccino or a glass of fine wine or trying out a host of gastronomic
delights (from the finest restaurants in towns and cities famous for their
cuisine to the humblest restaurants you can find in quaint corners of old town
centres or along any road in Italy).
