Ventimiglia di Sicilia: Giardini Pubblici - Ligurian Sea
Built around the mouth of the Roia River, Ventimiglia grew into a Ligurian border town between Italy and France. The Giardini Pubblici are part of its public green space near the Ligurian Sea, beneath the slopes of the Maritime Alps. Above the newer districts, the medieval old town of Ventimiglia Alta occupies a ridge, with narrow lanes leading to the Romanesque Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. On the eastern side of town, the archaeological area of Albintimilium preserves a Roman theatre, evidence of the settlement that preceded modern Ventimiglia. The town remains an important rail and road link along the Italian Riviera, close to the French border.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
