Though Italy has been primarily associated with fashion, the country also offers an old-world charm that would make any traveller to Europe swear to come back. Their return is assured, according to tradition, if they toss a coin into Rome’s Tre vi Fountain, which was designed by Nicola Salvi. Travelling to Europe, particularly to Rome will of course not be complete without a visit to the Pantheon, considered as one of the few surviving ancient temples in the world. Equally impressive is the Colosseum, the gigantic amphitheater that witness the combats of gladiators. Though already partly destroyed, the Colosseum continues to fascinate travellers in the country. Known as the shopping and fashion haven in Italy, Milan is also a major center of arts and architecture. Any traveller to Europe will certainly enjoy traversing Piazza del Duomo, at one of which stands the Duomo, a huge Gothic Cathedral made of white marble.
