ITALY Rocks!!!


When people listen about italy, Most of them immediately thinks in Rome and the vatican, but Italy is more than that.

Italy is one of the most beautiful countries in this world. It's a synonym of art and history. Artistic wonders can be found everywhere, and every corner of the country holds countless of wonderful surprises.It's artistic and cultural heritage is one of the most valuable in the world.

Piazza Dei Plebiscito

Valle Dei Templi


The Coliseum
Piazza Dei Miracoli - Pisa


Florence, Assisi, Venice, Sienna , Pisa, Naples and of course Rome are the most recognized cities for it's art. but the whole country has towns and landscapes of breathtaking beauty.
Italy has different natural features. for example:

The "Monte Bianco" or "Mont Blanc"


Is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe and the European Union. The mountain is located in a range called the Graian Alps, between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France. The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.



Vesuvius Volcano or Vesuvius Mount.

There are many volcanoes in Italy.The most famous is Vesuvius ,which erupted in the year AD79 wiping out the ancient roman cities and towns of Herculaneum Pompeii and Stabia killing most of the inhabitants.


Etna and Stromboli

Etna is a volcano located on the Italian regional island of Sicily and is an active stratovolcano. It is the largest of the three active volcanoes being almost two and half times the size of the second largest Vesuvius. 
Stromboli is a small island volcano island just north of the island of Sicily

The Po River

Is the largest river of Italy. The river flows through many important Italian cities, including Turin (Torino), Piacenza and Ferrara. It is connected to Milan through a net of channels called navigli, which Leonardo da Vinci helped design

Po River.

All cities in Italy have something peculiar, that makes it flashy for the foreigners.
in my opinion Verona is the most interesting city of Italy, for it's history and it's beauty. This poetic city, was chosen by Shakespeare like the home of Juliet capulet in his tragedy "Romeo and Juliet". That's why there is a monument in her name wich is the most visited of the city by women whom write letters asking her for help in their love life. apparently it works.


Verona is a city full of romance. It's buildings remind us a time when the love was the most important thing. And is a city that becomes us in lovers. It's considerate historic heritage by the UNESCO  and 't's full of cultural places.
