It is difficult – if not impossible – to limit a list of things to do in Italy to 100, and even more difficult to put them in order of descending significance or entertainment value: home to Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, with islands as diverse as dour Sicily and African-influenced Pantelleria and cultures as far apart as Renaissance Venice and the prehistoric Trulli in Alberobello, Italy is a vibrant and colorful hotch-potch, a land of stark and passionately defended contrasts.

Let’s continue the count…

50. Safari Park Pombia

Designated the number one attraction in Pombia, the Safari Park covers an area of 43.000 square metres and consists of an animal safari park and an amusement park with 30 different rides and shows. Moreover, it boasts an aquarium, an insect house and a reptile house, as well as lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes etc. as well as a bar, a pizzeria, a sandwich bar and a barbecue house.

The Safari Park Pombia is directly accessible from Milan Malpensa airport (1 hour 22 minutes by bus, or 20 minutes by car).

51. Archiginnasio (Bologna)

One of the most important buildings in Bologna, this 16th century former University now houses the municipal library and the anatomical theatre with its famous dissection table and statues of the “Spellati” (skinned figures), Apollo and Hippocrates. The theatre was almost totally destroyed in a bomb raid in 1944 and was painstakingly reconstructed in exact detail after the war.

The “Archiginnasio” is easily accessed by bus from Bologna Centrale railway station in less than ¼ hour (exit: Piazza Galvani), or under ½ hour on foot.

52. Castel Nuovo (Naples)

The “New Castle” of Naples, often known locally as the “Maschio Angioino”, was so named by Charles I of Anjou – who ordered its construction in 1279 – to distinguish it from the older Castel dell`Ovo and Castel Capuano. Optically, the castle looks exactly as a mediaeval castle should look; with towers, turrets, imposing gray walls and its sheer unbelievable size, it dominates the surrounding scenery as one of Naples’s most significant landmarks.

The Castel Nuovo can be reached in 8 minutes by metro from the Stazione di Napoli Zentrale, or 30 minutes on foot.
