Rome, Italy

Dubbed the world’s ‘living art gallery’, Italy has drawn visitors in search of culture and romance for centuries. Italy’s contribution to European paining and sculpture far surpasses that of any other nation, being home to various phenomenal ancient civilizations, the Renaissance, the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican.
