Summertime is the moment when days seem to last forever. In Italy, summer months are associated with relaxing time at the beach, trekking excursions in the Alps, and the national heritage sites teem with tourists.

In fact, Italy has a worldwide reputation as favorite holiday destination, both for Italians and foreigners. From North to South there are plenty of choices, from historical sites and villages in the countryside, to almost 5000 museums disseminated on the national territory.
