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 operas 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 Swiss border.
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.
Etymology
Italy's name rougly means "the land of young bulls" in Oscan.
