'''Italy''' is a peninsular Mediterranean country. It is rich in history and culture, being the main hub of the former [[Roman Empire]] and the [[Catholic Church]], as well as the origin of many famous [[opera]]s and the location of vibrant street carnivals. Italy is also famously home to some of the most divine foods in the world, from [[pizza]] to [[pasta]] to [[focaccia]] to [[tiramisu]]. Billionaires tend to hang out along the [[Amalfi Coast]], while daredevils ski down [[Breuil-Cervinia]] into the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] border. In the end, though, all roads (including the [[Appian Way]] to [[Brindisi]]) lead to [[Rome]], Italy's ancient [[capital city]]. | |||
Back in the day, Italy was comprised of a multitude of sovereign states, such as the [[Papal States]] and the [[Kingdom of the Two Sicilies]]. But then it was unified into one state. There are two exclaves still within Italy, though: namely [[Vatican City]] and [[San Marino]]. | |||
