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…

47. Rainbow Magic Land Valmontone (Rome)

49 km southeast of Rome in the Lazio province lies the historical town of Valmontone, which in 2011 opened its theme and amusement park “Parco Rainbow Magicland”. With 35 attractions and rides (including water rides in summer) covering a surface area of around 16.000 square metres, Rainbow Magic Land is an ideal day trip for the whole family away from the bustle and noise of Rome.

Trains run regularly from Rome’s Termini railway station to Valmontone (½ to ¾ hour); a free shuttle service is available from Valmontone railway station to Rainbow Magic Land.

48. Acquario di Genova (Genoa)

The largest aquarium in Italy and one of the largest in Europe, this 3.100 square metre aquarium is located in the old harbor part of the city of Genoa and attracts over 1.2 million visitors annually. 15.000 sea creatures and over 400 species have their home here in a total of 71 tanks and present a fascinating insight into oceanic life for young and old alike.

The Aquarium is located on the Ponte Spinola, around 15 minutes from Genoa Piazza Principe station by metro (exit: Ponte Spinola) or just over 20 minutes on foot.

49. Medici Aqueduct (Pitigliano)

Known as “the little Jerusalem” because of the well-integrated, strong Jewish contingent amongst its community, the town of Pitigliano on the border of the Lazio region (Rome) is best known for its Etruscan remains and mediaeval and Renaissance monuments. Balanced elegantly on top of a limestone cliff, the town offers superb views of the Tuscan countryside surrounding it, dominated by the Medici aqueduct, a superb example of Renaissance engineering.

Pitigliano is accessible by bus from Grosseto in just under 2 hours, or just over 1 hour by car. Car rental is advised.
