Italy

Italy runs down the Mediterranean like a boot and includes Sicily and Sardinia. Rome keeps the Colosseum and the Vatican, Florence the Uffizi, Venice its canals, Milan its fashion. To the south lie the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii below Vesuvius; to the north the Alps and Lake Como. Cooking shifts region by region: pasta, pizza, risotto and cheeses all have local versions.
