About Italy
Italy is a country located on a peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean Sea in central Europe. Many people refer to Italy as a country shaped like a boot because of its diverse and beautiful landscapes. Italy’s highest points are located in Switzerland and France, respectively, along the peaks of Monte Rosa and Mont Blanc. There are Alpine lakes and glacier-carved valleys that extend down to the Po River and Piedmont. Italy’s history has been marked by periods of short-term unification and long-term separation, as well as inter-communal conflict and failed empires.
More than 59.6 million people call Italy home, and Rome is the capital and largest city. Florence, Milan, Naples, and Venice are among the other major cities. Italian is the only language used in the workplace.

4. Pompeii: After the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius nearly 1,700 years ago, Pompeii was buried under several feet of volcanic ash. It is one of Italy's most popular tourist destinations.
5. Cinque Terre: There are five quaint fishing towns clinging to the cliffs that lead to the sea, all painted in shades of blue, yellow, and pink.
