Italy with its unbounded cultural heritage has
inspired poets,writers and painters for centuries.
There can be no
area of the same size on earth so weighted down with
treasure and delight from delicate
Etruscan vases to the
vestiges of ancient Rome, from Byzantine
mosaics to the
Sistine
Chapel of
Michelangelo.
According
to a Unesco survey half of the cultural heritage of the
entire world derives from Italy.
