Cultural Note
Italy's landscapes are extraordinarily diverse: alpine peaks, rolling hills, volcanic craters, Mediterranean coastlines, and flat plains (the Po Valley). Italian Renaissance painters pioneered landscape painting, and the Italian word 'paesaggio' itself became the root for the English word 'passage' and influenced the concept of 'landscape' in art.
