Italy is a country of rich diversity across its twenty regions. Every corner has a different tradition, dialect, and flavour to share – be it Emilia-Romagna’s tortellini or Abruzzo’s arrosticini, Sicily’s granita or Puglia’s pizzica folk music. Italy is where both wolves roam the deep forests of the Apennine Mountains and world-famous designers wow crowds on the catwalks of Milan.

It’s a country with surprises at every turn. One can walk past 1-thousand-year-old ruins on their way to a three-Michelin-star restaurant and experience both the glamour of the Venice Film Festival and the raw excitement of Siena’s Palio horse race. This diversity is reflected in the landscape, from the snow-blanketed Alps to the balmy waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Ranging from its gastronomy to its culture and history, Italy is a land of contrast and colour. Explore it.
