Italy is a southern European country. Its capital city, Rome, is the cradle of European nations and cultures. Milan, another major Italian city, is also the second biggest metropolis in the EU and has been dubbed the fashion capital for half a century. The state is the eighth largest economy in the world with its GDP per capita close to that of Taiwan. As one of the founding nations of the EU, Italy is an active member of international organizations like the UN, NATO, and the G7, as well as the host country of the headquarters of many organizations that operate under the UN. There are three countries classified as enclaves in Italy. They are: the Holy See, San Marino, and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. In the absence of a dominant political party in recent years, several political parties have formed a coalition government. It is also the first G7 state to sign onto China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
