| ITALY |
|
| A treasure trove of art, architecture and natural splendour, Italy is unarguably one of the great cultural centres of the world. It is also one of the few places where ancient and modern society live quite amicably side by side. Its great cities are replete with fantastic works of art, from the crumbling remains of the Roman Empire to the magnificent canvasses of the Renaissance. Italy is a feast for all the senses, from the historical and cultural grandeur of Rome, Florence, Milan, Naples, Bologna and Venice to the ski resorts of Courmayeur and Cortina d'Ampezzo, from the sun-kissed beaches along the coast to the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Even the most demanding of tourists cannot fail to be charmed. |

| Italy's currency is the Euro. Italy is three and a half hours behind India in summer and four and a half hours in winter. Italian is the main language spoken throughout. |
