Italy occupies a peninsula running south east into the Mediterranean from the mainland of Europe - borders with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia.
The largest of the islands is Sicily - with Sardinia, Elba and Capri being important. Italy includes two separate principalities - Vatican City and San Marino. The largest river is the Po which begins in the Alpine region in the west of the country and
ends in an extensive delta on the Adriatic.

Each of the major cities has its own character.
Venice is mysterious and romantic,
Rome is impressive and grand.
Florence is the Renaissance.
In Italy visit Michelangelo's David, the Uffizi gallery, Venice's Grand Canal, Pompeii, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper and much much more.
The climate varies from north to south. In the Alps you can expect long and severe winters. In the northern regions cold weather in winter and hot summers - as you go south conditions become milder.
Look out for the hot African wind called the sirocco for a couple of weeks in the summer that affects regions south of Rome. It could drive you mad.
