Removals To Italy from Spain

The Italian Republic is made up of the Italian Peninsula and two large islands in the Mediterranean Sea: Sicily and Sardinia. In turn, within the Italian territory there are two independent states, which are San Marino and the Vatican State.

With around 60 million inhabitants in 2024, Italy is the third most populous member state of the European Union. Due to its central geographic location in southern Europe and the Mediterranean, Italy has historically been home to countless peoples and cultures.

More than 35% of the Italian territory is mountainous. The Apennine Mountains form the backbone of the peninsula, with the Alps forming most of its northern boundary, where Italy’s highest point is at Mont Blanc.

Most of the small islands and archipelagos in the south, such as Capraia, Ponza, Ischia, Eolie, Ustica and Pantelleria are volcanic islands.
Industrial activity has been the engine of Italian development, and the current axis of its economy. Faced with this, agricultural activities have experienced a considerable setback. Tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy, being the fourth country with the most tourism in the world. Rome, the capital, is one of the most visited destinations in the world.

Italy has more UNESCO World Heritage Sites (55) than any other country in the world, and has rich collections of art, culture, and literature from many periods. The country has had a wide cultural influence throughout the world. Italian cuisine is included within the so-called Mediterranean gastronomy and, as a Mediterranean diet, it has been declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The ever-present ingredients of Italian gastronomy are cheese, cold cuts, cured meats, tomato, olive oil, vinegar or balsamic vinegar, pasta.
