Italy is a country in southern Europe, occupying a boot-shaped peninsula extending into the Mediterranean Sea.
It encompasses Sicily, Sardinia, and smaller islands.
Rome is the capital.
Italy is associated with ancient Roman civilization, Renaissance art, the Catholic Church, and distinctive regional cuisines: We spent two weeks traveling through Italy.
