You may have the universe if I may have Italy.

 

Italy is a country that offers a wealth of experiences to travelers, from ancient history to stunning mountain landscapes. Rome, the capital city, is a treasure trove of historical sites such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Vatican City. Aosta, a small town nestled in the heart of the Italian Alps, is the perfect base for winter sports enthusiasts who want to ski or snowboard in the surrounding mountains and has its own incredible ruins. Turin, a city known for its Baroque architecture and cultural scene, is home to museums, galleries, and theaters that showcase the region's rich history and art. Cuneo, a charming town in the Piedmont region, is famous for its gastronomy, with local specialties such as truffles, cheeses, and wines and the yearly Illuminate festival.

Rome

Rome has the strong distinction of being home to two of the world’s most dominant religions/cultures; the Ancient Romans and the Catholics. Much of its beauty comes from the fact that for once the Christians repurposed rather than destroyed the architecture of the ‘pagans’.
