Italy was the very head and heart of Europe for centuries. Italy has Influenced the thought, language, law and art of it's northern neighbors. With the rise of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century BC, the Latin phrase Roma Caput Mondi declared "Rome the Capital of the World"...... A single visit will convince you.
Italy, a peninsula, descends from Central Europe into the Mediterranean Sea. Surrounded by the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Sea the weather is fairly mild most of the year, while the summer can be very hot.
The history of Italy is legend, "The Ides of March" and assassination of Julius Cesar, the Gladiatorial Arena and the Colosseum, the Eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79AD and the destruction of Pompeii.
The best way to see Italy is in person. Standing before the Pantheon built in 125 AD, entering the Colosseum commissioned by Emperor Vespasian in 72 AD and visiting the Vatican to marvel at the interior of St. Peter's Basilica the burial place of St. Peter is an emotional experience that has no equal.
