The cultural and social life
Italy is famous throughout the world for its beauty, with a unique natural environment and historical and artistic heritage, to such an extent that it is called ‘ il bel Paese’ [beautiful country]. Its cities of artistic renown still bear indelible witness to the country’s history, culture and artistic millennia. In Italy there are various ways of spending one’s free time: taking up a hobby, practising a sport, going to concerts or plays and attending folk or sports events; visiting cities and towns renowned for their artistic treasures, squares and roads, churches, buildings, archaeological sites, museums or enjoying the pleasures of shopping, sitting relaxing with friends in a bar sipping a cappuccino or a glass of fine wine or trying out a host of gastronomic delights (from the finest restaurants in towns and cities famous for their cuisine to the humblest restaurants you can find in quaint corners of old town centres or along any road in Italy).
