When one thinks of the most visited countries in Europe, Italy is by far one of the most cited, after all its attractions cater to all tastes and profiles, including beautiful beaches and amazing cuisine. Although young, it has an extremely rich history, portrayed in the thousands of monuments that can be found throughout its length & breadth, making this destination ideal for those who have a zest for knowing the local history.

Works of art, on the other hand, should not be treated as a separate case, since it is possible to find them not only in museums and galleries but also in the religious monuments of Italy, such as the famous Sistine Chapel. The religious scripts, by the way, deserve special attention even from those who are not adherents of Catholicism.

But it is when we speak of exuberant, medieval and bucolic landscapes, that this destination gains even more prominence, charm and a special romanticism. It is not an exaggeration to affirm that the romantic cities of Italy must be visited by traveling couples at least once.
