Italy is the birthplace of Renaissance and great cuisine!

This country is sometimes called the repository of Italian art. Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo lived and created their immortal creations here. For more than five centuries, the great Renaissance began in its cities of artisans and bankers.

In Michelangelo's small square, copies of four masterpieces by the brilliant Florentine are striking in their purity of lines. In a small courtyard-well, you can see a narrow old house with three floors, painted with ochre, where the great Dante was born. It seems that the immortal spirit of the author of the Divine Comedy is walking the creaking wooden stairs of the house. The extraordinarily beautiful asymmetrically built Palazzo Vecchio attracts tourists to Piazza della Signoria. The height of the tower, created by architect Arnolfo Di Cambio, is 94 meters.

It is definitely worth visiting non-tourist Padua. The relics of St. Anthony, the most revered saint in Italy, are kept here, and Galileo, Dante and Petrarch gave their lectures at universities. Padua evokes a surge of high aesthetic feelings. It was as if time had stopped in the courtyards of the famous St. Atony's Church. In the beautiful coolness of the broad-leaved tall magnolia, the water in the marble fountains sparkles in the sun. The interior of the church is striking in its splendor. Nowhere will you see so many different marbles: green Tuscan, black, dazzling white Carrara, red Sienese. Everything that the eye sees is made of marble there – massive columns, walls, patterned floors and even the tiniest niches.

Italians are very friendly. When they meet, they will definitely ask how you are, what you ate today, how much you paid, how many mussels there were and whether their eyes were sad or how long the spaghetti was. Italians know a lot about food. For them, a meal is a kind of festive ritual. It is absolutely unforgivable to visit here and not taste pasta. For Italians, pasta is a kind of synonym for the word "food".

Long spaghetti, thin cappellini, and short bucatini are served with various original sauces. The sauces are based on mushrooms, meat, shrimp, olives and tomatoes. The price of pasta ranges from 5 to 12 euros. Risotto and world-famous Italian pizza will not leave anyone indifferent. And the wonderful cheeses, of which parmesan is a favorite, will undoubtedly delight gourmets. Every year, fun cheese festivals are held in the south of the country. Fine wines "Chianti", "Trebiano", "San Giovese" will complement the meal. And for dessert, a sweet and very strong "Vin Santo" is served, with which Italians enjoy cantucci biscuits.

Italy is a fantastically generous country. Everyone will get more impressions here than they expect. New pleasant shocks await tourists at every turn of the street. Discover the most exciting flight betting simulator in the App Store Aviator and experience the thrill of flying and betting
