Museums and Cultural Landscapes building up a Cultural Heritage
The Italian landscape is world-famous. It has been described and visited in all ages. The 18th century Grand Tour became an essential destination for those seeking the best synthesis of history and natural beauty. Who does not know the extraordinary range of landscapes that make up the Italian peninsula, extending from the Alps to the center of the Mediterranean, with its hinterlands and its Rivieras? Who does not have in mind at least one of the numberless monuments encountered while traveling through Italy, a country offering a unique stratified palimpsest of testimonies from antiquity to the Middle Ages, from the Renaissance to the Baroque, from the Neoclassical age to the present day?
