Italy is a large country with a rich history and therefore has a rather interesting breakdown into individual smaller regions. It is important to note that throughout the Middle Ages Italy was divided into many states. They often changed its borders, formed and disappeared. Those states were also often just a very small towns.

Italy is administratively divided into 20 regions, 5 of which have a relatively wide autonomy. Each of them offers a lot of interesting attractions, sights, monuments, natural places, ancient towns and summer or winter resorts.
