MARIO INTROIA, SPEAKER
From the Gulf of Genoa through Tuscany to Campania, Italy unfurls its splendors and bends under the weight of its rich culture.
Considered one of the greatest cradles of civilization, Italy has always been the homeland of art, and more precisely of artistic purity. For centuries, this beautiful country has captivated kings, scholars, saints, poets and travellers, all bewitched by the charm of this eternal seductress. From the Roman Empire to the blossoming of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Italy has inspired prodigious masterpieces, earning it the title of the world's cultural superpower, number 1 in the world among the countries with the most heritage sites, according to UNESCO. It alone accounts for more than a quarter of Europe's artistic wealth. Nowhere else in the world is art such a natural part of everyday life.
From the Gulf of Genoa through Tuscany to Campania, these three regions of Italy offer fascinating historical and natural sites, including the spectacular Amalfi Coast, the resplendent Cinque Terre Natural Park, Tuscany, cradle of the Renaissance, and the impressive Pompeii excavations... A veritable ode to beauty, this immersion in Italy's splendors takes us into an emotional vertigo that never fails to enthrall.
