Culture and Economy:

Economy: Italy's economy in size measured by GDP is the fourth largest in the European Union (EU). In relative or purchasing power parity terms, it is also among the largest in the world. The secondary or industrial sector has been the engine of Italian development and the current axis of its economy. As in the economy of many European countries, the tertiary sector or service sector also has a great weight in the Italian economy.

The country can be divided into two zones: the north is more industrialized and developed, dominated by private companies, and where the leading financial center of the country, Milan, is located. Already the south is more agricultural, less developed, dependent on government subsidies, and has a higher unemployment rate.

 

Culture: Italian culture is the set of cultural manifestations produced in Italian territory. Italy is recognized for its art, its culture, and its many monuments, including the Tower of Pisa and the Roman Colosseum; as well as for its gastronomy (famous Italian dishes are pizza and pasta), wine, lifestyle, it is painting, its design, cinema, theater, literature, and music, particularly opera. All this has created a considerable Italophilia in the world.
