Stretching from the snow-capped Alps to the sun-baked orange groves of Sicily, and with more UNESCO heritage sites than anywhere else in the world, Italy is perhaps the most richly varied country in Europe. Child-focused museums may be rare, activities for kids in galleries and museums in their infancy and childrens menus virtually unheard of, but this is a family-centred society in which youngsters are adored and welcomed everywhere.

Travel back in time

Centuries before Rome established itself as the centre of the civilized world, there was plenty happening around the Italian peninsula.

In , at the archaeological museum, visitors can pay their respects to the oldest known Italian, 5,300-year- old tzi, whose well-preserved mummified remains were found on the Similaun Glacier in 1991. Analysis of tzi has revealed many details about life in the Copper Age what people ate, what they wore, how they lived.

Some 2,800 years after tzis icy death, Sicily was the centre of the ancient Greek world, with the city of that are still used today.

In central Italy, at around the same time, Etruscan civilization was at its peak. There are marvellous frescoes to be seen in the Etruscan museum and haunting necropolis at , Romes Etruscan museum.

The great outdoors
