Rome​

When it comes to Italian cities, there's really only one place to start: Rome. Its central location makes it the ideal choice to be the capital of Italy but it's also one of the world capitals of tourism with a collection of sights quite unlike any other city. 

History is everywhere you look in Rome and largely dominated by the period of antiquity during which the Roman Empire prevailed above all others. Historical ruins such as the Colosseum and the Roman Forum are two obvious highlights but later works such as the Trevi Fountain and St. Peter's Basilica are also unmissable.
