Traveling and vacationing is one of the most valuable and enriching experiences of our lives. Going to different places to increase our knowledge, open our minds, extend new moral values, enjoy the different culture atmosphere, and so forth. There are many destinations throughout the world that will fulfill those desires. But, if what you are looking for is a unique and memorable experience that will give you the opportunity to learn about another culture through art, cultural events, historical sites, and archeological treasures, a place to visit is certainly Italy. Among many places in the world where you can relive the past, Italy is certainly the most charming place.

Italy consists of a mountainous peninsula in southern Europe extending into the Mediterranean Sea and includes the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and about 70 other smaller islands. The Alps form Italy's border with France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia. Most of Italy has warm, dry summers and mild winters, with northern Italy experiencing colder and wet winters (Italy, 1996).

The Italian flag has three vertical bands of colors and each one has a meaning.

The history of Italy dates back as far as 2000 years. Therefore, Italy would be an ideal destination to learn about culture differences, artistic heritage, and fashion being that they are known for their unique, romantic, and charming look. I think that if I could visit Italy I will be able to compare and contrast Italy to life in America. For example, Italy is a total combination of beauty, culture and landscapes, rough economic and political background. America also advertises beauty and appearance. Over all Italy seems like an exciting place to explore because it has so many attractions to offer. Maybe one day I will have the opportunity to take a trip to Italy just to see such amazing place.
