Italy is a large country in Europe with a population of around 57 million people. It borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia, and its capital and largest city is Rome. Italy was formerly dominated by the powerful Roman Empire and is famous for its historic Roman remains. The official language is Italian, though there are also regional dialects, and immigrants frequently try to reach Italy by boat from conflict-stricken regions like Africa, Syria, and Libya in search of better opportunities.
