About Italy for visitors

Italy is the Renaissance's living museum — Rome's ancient ruins and Renaissance art, Florence's old-master galleries, Venice's canal romance, and the Amalfi Coast's clifftop drama make it mandatory for culture pilgrims. Food tourism drives foodies to Emilia-Romagna, while beach-lovers scatter across Sardinia and Sicily.

Rome Fiumicino (FCO) and Milan Malpensa (MXP) are the main gateways; Venice (VCE) and Naples (NAP) serve regional arrivals. Italian immigration is generally smooth, though summer peak hours at Rome can create bottlenecks.
