The tourist industry in Italy has been happening for a number of centuries. The Southern half of the country were always popular with the ruins and ancient buildings of Rome being particularly appealing.
The Italian Riviera is a narrow strip of land between the Capo Corvo near Tuscany and the French border on the Cote d’Azur.
Rome is in the heart of the region and boasts the remaining landscapes of the Roman Empire. It is home to some of the world’s most famous landmarks, such as the Coliseum, The Pantheon and Trajan’s Column.
