Perhaps Mark Twain expressed it best: 'The Creator made Italy from designs by Michaelangelo.' Art is part of the scenery here, hung on a gallery wall or hanging in a Versace boutique. Take in the sculpture-studded architecture, impossibly stylish locals and landscapes festooned with vineyards, and you've got one bel paese (beautiful country). But Italy's charms go beyond the aesthetic, as its epic history and cuisine attest.
