The Apennines and the arts, the archeology of Etruria and the Capital of Italy: here's what you can find in the Centre. The most important cities are:.
- Florence. the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany. From 1865 to 1870 it was also the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. It lies on the Arno River and it's considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance.
- Perugia, with a particular vocation as universitary town. The university has been founded in the 1200s and has been welcoming students from all across Europe since the middle age.
- Ancona, where you can still find traces of the Imperial Rome and have a fascinating walk between sea and hills, through an uncontaminated corner of nature.
- Pescara, Gabriele D'Annunzio's hometown. There is a museum, now, inside the building that was property of the D'Annunzio family. The museum contains literary and photographic items, as well as some first editions of its works.
- Rome. Everybody knows Rome and is able to mention its most famous monuments, such as the Coliseum, and the protagonists of its history. Moreover, arriving at St. Peter's Square, surrounded by the magnificent four-row colonnade masterpiece of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the visitor is in another country: the Vatican City.
