About Italy

Italy is a country in Southern Europe and a member of the European Union. Italy was one of the six countries which signed the 1951 Paris Treaty setting Europe off on the path to integration.

Italy, slightly larger than Arizona, is a long peninsula shaped like a boot, surrounded on the west by the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the east by the Adriatic.

Europe's kinky over-the-knee boot has it all: popes, painters, polenta, paramours, poets, political puerility and potentates. Italy’s dreamy light and sumptuous landscapes seem made for romance, and its three millennia of history, culture and cuisine seduces just about everyone.
