EPCOT’s World Showcase is an incredible collection of 11 different country pavilions, each with their own unique attractions, dining, and entertainment. Guests can easily find themselves becoming lost in the whimsy of exploring World Showcase, and this area of the park deserves to have several hours of your day dedicated to it. Each pavilion represents its country authentically and uniquely. Representatives from each country were present during construction of the pavilions which is why they all so accurately portray their country.

This pavilion really portrays an authentic Italy. If you are planning a visit to EPCOT’s World Showcase then check out these must-do’s in the Italy pavilion!
