In 2019, it was reported that several cities in Italy exceeded it's air pollution limits. An environmental group by the name of Legambiente stated that 2019 was a "black year for air quality with 26 urban centers exceeding limits for both particulate matter (PM10) and ground-level ozone (O3)". WHO states that the health impact from air pollution huge: "8220 deaths a year, on average, are attributable to PM10 concentrations above 20 mg/m3. This corresponds to 9% of the mortality for all causes (excluding accidents) in the population over 30 years of age. The impact on short-term mortality is 1372 deaths, or 1.5% of the total mortality in the whole population. Hospital admissions attributable to PM10 are of a similar magnitude."

Italy is famous for it's timeless architecture, historical and religious significance, and of course its western culture and cuisine. Hot spots for tourists would include The Vatican, the Colosseum, the Tower of Pisa, the Sistine Chapel, and many more. My personal favorite would be the Borghese Gallery located in Rome. This museum has some of my favorite sculptures including the famous Apollo and Daphne by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. And that's only one of the countless baroque and renaissance sculptures housed there.
