Bequeathed to Florence<\/strong> by the last surviving member of the Medici family, the\u00a0Uffizi Gallery<\/strong>\u00a0was one of the world\u2019s first modern museums. A treasure trove of Renaissance art by masters like Botticelli, Giotto, Da Vinci and Michelangelo, it houses one of Italy\u2019s most important art collections.<\/p>\n Rebuilt twice due to fire, Venice\u2019s\u00a0Teatro La Fenice<\/strong>\u00a0(The Phoenix, fittingly) is one of Europe\u2019s most famous opera houses. Verdi premiered both Rigoletto and La Traviata here, and international greats like Stravinsky have composed for the house.<\/p>\n Buried under a layer of\u00a0lapilli<\/em>\u00a0(burnt fragments of pumice stone) when Vesuvius erupted in AD 79,\u00a0Pompeii<\/strong>\u00a0is a fascinating freeze-frame of ancient life. Poking around through homes and businesses (including a brothel) seized in a moment in time two thousand years ago is a truly haunting experience.<\/p>\n Michelangelo\u2019s masterpieces, Creation and The Last Judgement in the\u00a0Sistine Chapel<\/strong>, are the\u00a0pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/em>\u00a0of any Vatican tour. Visitors also like to soak up the atmosphere in the very spot where new popes are selected.<\/p>\n Being famous for inventing pizza is no small accolade. The folks at the most renowned pizzeria in Napoli,\u00a0Da Michele<\/strong>, haven\u2019t let it go to their heads though. Serving two simple varieties, this is a no-frills establishment where the only thing that matters is taste.<\/p>\n Where better to enjoy a selection of cheeses and meats than in Parma, the birthplace of Parmigiano-Reggiano and prosciutto?\u00a0Osteria dei Mascalzoni<\/strong>\u00a0is a cozy place that serves up regional specialties in traditional Italian style.<\/p>\n The euro (EUR) is Italy\u2019s official currency.<\/p>\n The official language is Italian; and most Italians speak a foreign language such as English.
