Imagine this: authentic pasta in a quaint trattoria, a picturesque village where time seems to stand still, and the warmth of Italian hospitality. From breathtaking landscapes on the Amalfi Coast to art-filled cities like Florence and Rome, Italy is not just a place to live, but a place to fall in love with life all over again.

National Anthem
Il Canto degli Italiani
Independence Day
March 17, 1861 (unification, not independence day)
National Motto
"Viva l'Italia" ("Long live Italy")
Italy has one of Europe’s longest histories, yet it’s only been a country since 1861.
Italy’s flag represents hope, faith and charity. Green is hope, white denotes faith, and red is the colour of charity. Inspired by the French flag, it’s often called Il Tricolore (Italian for “the tri-color”).
Italy has 59 UNESCO World Heritage sites, more than anywhere else on earth. They cover the entire country, and range from Mount Etna to the Colosseum.
