About Italy

The answer is Italy, a Southern European republic whose peninsula stretches into the Mediterranean between the Alps and the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Its capital, Rome, was founded on the Tiber in 753 BC and later became the seat of the Catholic Church. Italy was the birthplace of the Renaissance and of opera, and it holds more World Heritage Sites than any other country.
