Italian Holiday Italy

Welcome in Italian Holiday Blog! Italy is a beautiful country but is one of those countries which you probably have some questions and preconceptions, before your coming to this special country. A place of olive oil, pasta, wine, mafia and sunshine, roman ruins and renaissance palaces, Italy has a lot to give its tourists. Although some of these conceptions are amazing and interesting, it would be a shame if that was the only thing you come away with. Italy is certainly much more complex and stimulating than these concepts. Italy is a country full of interesting things for the casual tourist and the educated tourist, it has deep Roman Catholic roots. The tourists can stay weeks in important tourist centers without reason to feel bored, but it is equally simple to get off the beaten track. In the north, next to the Alps and the landscapes of the Po river, many cultural gems and highly developed industrial cities fascinate. In the center, there are the importants city, Rome (the capital), Florence etc. In Umbria it is situated the Trasimeno Lake, a largest lake very beautiful near Perugia (from 35 km). In the south, there are a beautiful sea zone, and in Sicilia Island there is a active vulcain montain Etna. There is another island in the west of italy, the Sardinia.
