Italy lies at the heart of the Mediterranean, separated from the rest of Europe by the vast range of the Alps. The Po, its longest river, runs across the industrial north, while the Apennine mountains divide the boot shaped peninsula down its length. Italy covers 301,268 sq. km and includes the islands of Sicily and Sardinia.
Few countries can compete with Italy's Classical origins:
from History to Art and Architecture from Music to Literature. Italy retains all the customs, traditions and regional loyalties of its historical heritage.
By doing business in Italy you will get the most out of its natural beauty and scenery while not forgetting the superb variety and excellence of its food and wine.
