Italy is the country that defined what travel to Europe is supposed to feel like. Rome's layered history, with emperors, popes, and la dolce vita stacked on top of each other, is unlike anything else. Florence is compact and walkable, with more Renaissance art per square metre than anywhere in the world. The Amalfi Coast is as dramatic as the photographs suggest. Venice is extraordinary and also, in high season, almost unbearable with crowds.
The food is the constant across all of it. The simplicity and quality of Italian cooking, region by region, is a real education. Pasta in Emilia-Romagna, pizza in Naples, gelato everywhere.
