The fashion city of Milan has always been inviting visitors. It

popular for the Romanesque
architecture in the Lombardy region
of which Milan is a part; The Cathedral of Milan that is a
paradigm example of Gothic architecture. The Milan museums
include some of the fascinating museums in the world. For
instance the Brera Gallery that presents the tour de force of
geniuses like Raphael and Giovanni Bellini. You can also gaze at
the awesome "The Last Supper", Jesus and his disciples at the
Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie church.
Since the entire Italy is swarming with museums and art, the
city of Florence too grounds few wonderful ones. The Uffizi
Gallery which is best known for the art work of Sandro
Botticelli - "Birth of Venus", Leonardo da Vinci's strokes, and
apart from these the Dutch, French and Spanish work of art it
displays.
Besides this, Florence is thronged for its delectable cuisine,
hill slopes and the oldest archaeologically significant region
of this place i.e. the Tuscany region. One among the wonders of
the world, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is nestled in the Italian
town of Pisa in the Tuscany region.
The Vatican City is a center of attraction in Italy
particularly for magnificent Sistine Chapel, designed by the
architect Baccio Pontelli and feathers added to it by Bernini.
The galleries of this Chapel present some of the exclusive art
works-paintings and sculptures like "run-of-the-mill", the
archaic bronze statue of Apoxyomenos, Michelangelo's sculpture
'The Pieta' and so forth.
After these Italy has many other cities that have always been
welcoming visitors with their pleasant surroundings and amazing
art work.
So one should, in one's life time definitely bask in the glory
of the skill of distinguished artists, painters and architects,
no where else but Italy.
