Regions of Italy
Italy is divided into 20 regions, each with its own distinct geography, customs and cuisines. But what binds Italy together and makes it so appealing, is that no matter where you go, you'll always find something that's 'typically’ Italian. From beautiful cities, the Italian piazzas, restaurants, pizzerias, cafes, the Italian lifestyle, to the nature in Italy’s National parks and the breathtaking beaches, there's always something to remind you what's so great about La Dolce Vita. Whether you admire the stylish Italians and enjoy the 'MODA' or relish the design reflected in Italian cars, or want to experience the pulsating beat of life with noisy street markets and swarms of people buzzing around on Vespas, or visit any of the hundreds of world heritage UNESCO sites, or want to enjoy the mountains and islands… every region of Italy has something glorious for you. Think food, drama, history, beauty and a unique approach to life, and that is what makes each region of Italy special!
