Italy - strategically located at the heart of the Mediterranean, bridging Europe, Africa and the Middle East - is fast becoming one of the world's premier locations for international professionals and global families who need to coordinate their activities on an international basis.

Milan, one of Europe's leading financial and business centers, is served by three major airports offering flights to over 200 destinations worldwide. From Milan you can fly directly to key European hubs such as London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Zurich; to North American cities including New York (JFK and Newark), Toronto and Miami; to Asian destinations including Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul; and to the Middle East, including Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi.

Rome, the Eternal City, is home to the country's busiest airport, Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino (FCO), with connections across Europe (London, Madrid, Berlin, Vienna), the Americas (New York, Los Angeles, Miami), Asia (Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing) and the Middle East (Dubai, Riyadh, Doha).

Beyond its airports, Italy boasts an efficient network of high-speed trains connecting all major cities - Milan, Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and more - with international rail links to neighboring countries and an extensive road network offering efficient connections to major European destinations. This makes it easy to live in one city and do business in another, or to reach the whole country from wherever you choose to settle.

For international professionals and global families, this combination of intercontinental flight connections, fast domestic travel and a central position in Europe makes Italy an ideal base from which to access the world - while enjoying an exceptional quality of life.
