Italy Overview
The Most Beautiful Italian Regions
Due to its vast land size, Italy can be divided up into three general regions. From there they
are then divided up into more specific regions similar to states like in the US. Then there are
also the islands of Italy to cover as well. The country of Italy itself is divided into the North-
ern, Central, and Southern Regions, with each one having its own sense of culture, history,
cuisine, and dialect. Where you chose to visit in Italy depends on a number of factors. There
are many questions you can ask yourself including: What cities are on my list of places to
see in Italy? Do I want to go to the beach? Do I want to go wine tasting at various vineyards?
What museums do I wish to visit? The questions can truly be endless, but the answers can
be summed up into the three general regions of Italy, or with the various island options. In
