WORLD HERITAGE SITES IN ITALY
According to the United National Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) two third of the world's historical artistic heritage is in Italy. Tuscany for example boasts by itself more artistic treasures than the entire Spain which is at the second position in the list of world heritage. We can confirm that all the most important styles of Western architecture can be found in the Italian peninsula.
