History and Culture in Italy Vacation Packages

Italy has been a center of civilization and culture since the ancient Etruscans and the mighty Roman Empire up to the wealthy city-states and duchies of the Renaissance to modern times. Home to the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites (61), it’s also the seat of the Catholic Church, and the birthplace of the Latin alphabet and opera. Italy’s rich cultural heritage is reflected in all aspects of life from art and architecture to movies, music, fashion, and food. Italians have a deep appreciation for family and community, and celebrate life with unique customs and traditions like ‘aperitivo’ (pre-meal drinks and snacks) and ‘passeggiata’ (an after dinner stroll). La Dolce Vita indeed!

Italy counts the largest number of UNESCO Sites of any country, and while you may realize that makes it impossible to visit them all in one trip, you can certainly get to some of the highlights from three major cities!. The historic center of Rome, Florence, and Venice (plus its canals) are UNESCO-listed ... so make sure to explore these important cities, but nearby you can see Pompeii, Hadrian's Villa and Villa d`Este, Lucca, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Siena and San Gimignano. While this is certainly A LOT, it is still only the beginning!.
