History—there, we said it. No other country in the world touts more UNESCO World Heritage sites than Italy. But while museums and the Colosseum may draw you in, it’s the infectiously dynamic Italian spirit that makes you fall in love. (Okay, the food too.) Priests, beggars, chain-smoking fashionistas and zooming Vespas swarm the gleaming black cobblestone streets of ever-epic Rome. The Renaissance lives eternal in the famed museums of Florence, while daring drivers and aperitivo-sipping, gelato-loving residents keep it current. Hauntingly beautiful (and sinking) Venice manages to capture your heart despite the elbowing throngs of tourists. The legendary Tuscan countryside, the spunk of Naples, the lore of Sicily—all of it will make you want to don some designer sunglasses and join in the fun.
