Italy has historically been home to a wide variety of peoples and cultures, including the Italic peoples, the Etruscans, the Celts and the Ligures, the Greeks, the Phoenicians, and the Carthaginians.

This is due to Italy’s strategic geographic location in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean.

In the eighth century BC, the Latins established the Roman Kingdom, which later evolved into a republic with a governance of the Senate and the People.

In the beginning, the Roman Republic subjugated and incorporated its neighbors on the Italian peninsula before eventually spreading over Europe, North Africa, and Asia.

The Pax Romana, a period of almost 200 years during which Italy’s law, technology, economy, art, and literature flourished, began when the Roman Empire emerged as the dominating force in the Mediterranean Basin and became a major cultural, political, and religious center.

Nowadays, Italy’s economy is advanced. The nation ranks ninth in terms of national wealth, third in terms of central bank gold reserves, and tenth overall in terms of nominal GDP (third in the European Union). In terms of life expectancy, quality of life, healthcare, and education, it is ranked highly.

In the Venetian Lagoon in northern Italy, close to Torcello at the northern end of the lagoon, lies the island of Burano, which is renowned for its needle lace work, venetian masks and the close by Murano, were precious glass objects are created.
