Rich Legacy Of Both Art And Architecture
Many people have been drawn to Italy's rich history of art and architecture over the years. The country's architectural and artistic marvels date back before Roman times and continue to this day. Every age has its treasures and devotees, but the country is famed for its world-changing artists, architects, engineers, and innovators. Look at Michelangelo's 'Pieta' and 'The Last Judgment,' Leonardo da Vinci's 'Renaissance Man,' or Titian's 'Venus of Urbino' to be amazed by their artistic talent or to drink up some culture.
The country is a sanctuary for anyone interested in exploring architecture and design throughout the centuries. These sculptures can be found on any street or road; in fact, it's hard to travel around without coming across a piece of history. Florence's elegant streetscapes, Rome's beautifully preserved Colosseum, the incredible painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the perfect marble dome of St Peter's Cathedral in Vatican City, Venice's beautiful arched bridges over its canals, and Positano's postcard-perfect tiers of colorful cottages are just a few examples of what Italian art and architecture have to offer.
- Travel tips: Museums are generally booked far in advance, so get your tickets to skip the long lines as that’s one of the most important things to do before traveling to Italy.
