What do you know about Italy?

Italian art developed in the Italian peninsula since prehistoric times. During the Roman Empire, Italy was at the center of an artistic culture that for the first time created a universally homogeneous language for the European and Mediterranean world. In some periods Italy was the artistically most advanced country in Europe. From prehistoric art to the Renaissance with Michelangelo Buonarotti to metaphysical painting, Italy was an important center of culture. House also of many painters and sculptors.

Italian music

Italian culture has always been particularly flourishing. No exception is the music that, over the centuries, has undergone a constant and significant development that leaves a mark on the world culture. We listen to some pieces of Italian music every day starting with the music of the 1800s with Giuseppe Verdi up to the present day with Vasco Rossi or Laura Pausini.

Italian cuisine offers an abundance of taste,it is generally characterized by its simplicity, with many dishes having only two to four main ingredients. Italian cooks rely chiefly on the quality of the ingredients rather than on elaborate preparation. Ingredients and dishes vary by region. Many dishes that were once regional have proliferated with variations throughout the country. Italian cuisine is one of the most popular and copied in the world; some of the most famous specialties are pizza, pasta and various typical dishes by region.

Italian wines

The great variety of vines, the goodness of the climate and the mastery in the care and selection of the grapes make Italy (together with France) the country with best quality wine in the word. Italy has a great variety of types of wine, to be tasted at least once in a lifetime: among the red wines there is “cabernet”, “merlot”, “barollo”; among the white wines there is “prosecco”, sparkling wine from “Franciacort”. But Italy deserves to be visited in large part also for its winegrowing excellences that vary for each region.
