[Grammar] Italy is rich in its own

[Lalli55]

Good morning. I would like to know is this phrase sounds correct in English:

Italy is rich in its own
(originally in Italian: L'Italia è ricca di suo, meaning that Italy is wealthy beacuse of its own cultural heritage).

Thank you for your answer.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

The sentence you have written doesn't work. However, if you add just one word, it could work:

Italy is rich in its own right.

Note my corrections and comments in the quote box above.

If you want to talk about Italy and its heritage, you can say this:

Italy is the cradle of a rich ancient civilization.

Italy is a country steeped in history.

Just using rich in that way suggests you are talking economics not culture to me.

Perhaps Lalli55 can explain what he/she sees as the connection between Italy being wealthy and its cultural heritage.
