Italy has long been at the centre of Western civilization, with its ancient history dating back to the Etruscans, the Greeks, and later the Romans, who established Italy as the home of art, innovation, education, and cuisine that it still is today. Rome, founded in 753 BC, became the heart of one of the world's most powerful and influential empires, spanning much of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The Roman Empire has shaped law, politics, engineering, and culture all across the world and its influence is still felt keenly in Italy today, making it the ideal place to live for all those searching for greatness, whether it be in art, cooking, fashion, intellect, or industry.
