Painting and sculpture
Italy’s contribution to European painting and sculpture far surpasses that of any other nation. This is in part due to the triumph of the Renaissance period, but Italy can also boast many other remarkable artistic achievements, from the seventh century BC to modern times. The country’s fragmented political history has led to strong regional characteristics in Italian art: Rome, Pisa, Siena, Florence, Milan, Venice, Bologna and city all have distinctive and recognizable traditions.Gordon McLachlan , with contributions by Catherine McBeth
