Abruzzo
Valle d'Aosta
Not surprisingly, traveling through Italy is also like walking through a real-life course in history as nearly each of the italian regions is associated with a particular chapter in European history. Latium, for example, represents the Roman Empire, Veneto the Middle Ages, Umbria the Etruscan Era, Emilia-Romagna's town of Ravenna the Byzantine Empire, Sicily the Greek period, Florence the Renaissance and Piedmont the Modern Times, with its capital Turin, seat of the Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (Fiat).
