Therefore, the very beautiful cities Italy, like, however, and settlements, small villages in this area ancient land, remembering the Romans, barbarians, countless shopping guests from all inhabited Okumens, did not appear on the masturbation of the magic stick, but as a result of the painstaking, hard work of many generations of their inhabitants.
The history of the modern state called Italy, to the surprise of many tourists, does not have much time - from 1861. This is due to the fact that until this long age, there were cities-states, individual provinces, united territories, managed by princes, dukes, kings, dads of Roman, including the emperor of France Napoleon I - the unsuccessful conqueror of Russia.
Curious fact that the capital new country - The Kingdom of Italy - were consistently Turin (since 1861), Florence (from 1865), from 1871 to Rome. It has become the Italian Republic since 1946.
But, mostly, tourists are not interesting to the smile of history, for example, when the efforts of revolutionaries who fought for the unification of Italy into a single state, the king of Viktor Emmanuel II came to power, whose ashee rests now in Rome's Pantheon.
The earlier history of these lands is much greater interest for Italy, when they were consistently inhabited by the following peoples:
- Ancient Greeks. Although they inhabited only part of her lands, mainly by the mainland coast, on the island of Sicily, starting from the VIII century to N. e. They left about themselves the memory for centuries, including building the city Messina and Syracuse - the motherland of the legendary Archimedes. And today throughout Sicily, tourists can see traces of ancient Greek civilization - the remains of urban, temple structures, road sections.
- Latins. Lived here with the I millennium BC. e. By the VI century BC. e. The center of the unification of the Latin tribes became Rome. They gave their tongue to the whole world. Latin is what almost all initial terminology is based on, the classification of most theoretical / applied scientific disciplines, such as medicine, jurisprudence, biology and botany. By the way, although it is called a dead language, it is official for the Vatican and Maltese Order.
- Romans. By 290 BC e. Rome completed the association around himself all the lands on the Apennine Peninsula, submitted all the Italian peoples who inhabited him. From this point on, the period of ancient Rome began, who left a huge mark in the history of all mankind.
After the fall of the Roman Empire in the V century, Italy went out of hand to hand. There were barbarians, Byzantines, the rulers of almost all neighboring states, trying to grab the lacquer of the Mediterranean.
But these times have long passed, and today Italy is the third EU economy, a country where millions of tourists every year seek to see beautiful cities, world attractions in them and / or relax on the beaches of the picturesque coast.
