India, July 31 -- Italy is known to house the highest number of UNESCO World Heritage sites in the world. A popular tourist destination for travellers all across the world, Italy has been hit hard by the pandemic. Recently, the nation has decided to extend the State of Emergency till October 15, 2020, which was earlier supposed to end by July 31. Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced the new development in the Italian Senate.
