Culture Italy
Italy has played a decisive role in art and culture in Europe from a very early stage. Roman antiquity was, in the times of Roman Empire, the standard for all constructions in Europe. In the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, Italy was the main exporter of European art, culture and research. Significant people such as Da Vinci, Botticelli, Raphael, Angelico, und Michelangelo, specialising in the areas of painting, sculpture and architecture, have also been brought forth in Italy. Italy is world famous for its art and culture and for its building like the Coliseum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, just as much as for its way of life and elegance, literature, poetry, artwork; and not be forgotten: its music, especially opera.
