Top Italian Destinations
Each region of Italy has its own history and cultural background, which affects all aspects of life, from cooking to language. This cultural and historical diversity derives in past from the influence of the different civilisations, which have held sway over different regions throughout history; Etruscans in Tuscany, Greeks in Calabria, Romans with their empire starting in Lazio and extending throughout Italy and beyond, and Normans in Sicily, to name but a few.
