epa01774977 (FILE) A file photograph dated 18 August showing horses out to pasture on the plateau of Sciliar, in Italian northern province of Belluno, with a part of the Dolomites in the background. Italy's famous Dolomites mountains on 26 June 2009 became a World Heritage Site. Announcing its decision in Seville, a United Nations heritage panel praised the Alpine range as ''one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes anywhere.'' The World Heritage Committee panel voted unanimously for the stunning mountain range. Italy now has 44 UNESCO sites: The Dolomites' victory means Italy consolidated its position at the top of the UNESCO rankings. Spain is second with 40 sites, followed by France and Germany with 33, the United Kingdom with 27, Russia with 23 and Greece with 17. UNESCO has since the 1970s listed places of ''outstanding universal value'', deeming them so precious as to belong to humanity in general, not just the country where they are located. EPA/STF

According to a study by Italian Catholic newspaper Avvenire Bolzano is the best place to live in Italy.

In second place is another northern city, Trento, according to the study by the Italian daily.

Pordenone and Florence came third and fourth respectively, followed by Parma, Pisa and Milan.

Rome was 40th and the southern cities of Reggio Calabria, Vibo Valentia, Naples and Crotone came last.

The Ben Vivere study ranks cities on the basis of factors such as the opportunities they offer for new economic initiatives, their level of environmental protection, prosperity and life-satisfaction levels.
