Answers to your questions
How many UNESCO World Heritage Sites does Italy have?
62 sites recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage — cultural, natural or mixed.

A cultural site is human-made (an old town, a monument, an archaeological site); a natural site is a unique geological/ecological feature; a mixed site is both.
