The Best

Coming up with a Top 10 hit list for Italy is a

little like trying to find the 10 shiniest gold ingots in Fort Knox. Bearing that in mind, we've gone for 11 of the places, sights and experiences that make Italy so special:

	Food, glorious food
	Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes
	Medieval & Renaissance Florence
	The Aeolian Islands
	The Amalfi Coast
	Siena
	The Cinque Terre
	Ancient ruins in Rome, Pompeii, Paestum and Sicily
	Venice during Carnevale (or not)
	Walking in the Dolomities
	Mosaics in Palermo and Monreale

The Worst

It is just possible that the thought of driving headlong down a Po Valley autostrada in dense fog will turn some people on - obviously you should make of the following what you will.

	Potenza (ugly & boring)
	Italian bureaucracy
	Brindisi (ugly & unpleasant)
	Italian drivers
	Autostrada tolls & petrol (both are expensive)
	Italian papagalli (men on the make)
	Imperious shop assistants
	Driving through fog in the Po Valley (Emilia-Romagna)
	Tourist crowds in the Vatican Museums & the Uffizi (hard to avoid!)
	Italian beaches in August (so packed you can't breathe)
