Welcome to Italy!!!

Dear visitor, welcome to my Italy web pages. Here you will find tourist information, photographs and travel tips about Italy's main destinations: I consider this site only a starting point. Italy has so much to offer ...

Italy is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. Some experts say that 50% of the world's artistic heritage is in Italy.

The best seasons to travel to Italy are Spring and Fall. Summer can be a little too hot in some cities, but even winter is ok to come to italy.

Italian cities are well comunnicated by road and train. Distances are short, most cities are less than two hours apart. The main Italian airports are Milan Malpensa's (MPX) and Rome's Leonardo da Vinci - Fiumicino (FCO).
