It is nearly impossible to travel in Italy without encountering something historic – Italy has the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the planet, and there are tons of things that UNESCO doesn’t get to numbering that are in all probability older than anything you’ve encountered before.

@Dominic – Yes, it’s correct: Marco has created a “what if portal homepage”, showing how Italia.it could have been, if it had been done better and according to the correct criteria.

I wrote about Brand Italy needing a big brand idea to lead its great regional and city brands into an exciting future. Here’s the URL if you wish to read all about it. http://brandopia.typepad.com/brandopia_destination_for/2006/01/ciao_italia_stu.html
