Many people love Italy and I am one of them. The reason is easy: nice people, nice weather, nice culture (very similar to ours) and even better food.
Italy is quite big and there are many famous cities that are worthwhile visiting, for instance, in the North we find Milan and Venice. In the Tuscany region (la Toscana), one of the most beautiful cities is Florence (Firenze per gli italiani) and Pisa, famous for its tower; in the South, Naples (Napoli) and the absolutely stunning island of Sardinia (with its crystal clear beaches) and last but not least, Rome, the capital city.
As I know many of you are going to Italy on the school trip, here are some "musts" (things you must do):
- Visit as many museums and churches as possible: you must see the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City, Romulus and Remus being fed by the wolf, St. Maria Maggiore...
- Monuments you will like: the Colosseum, the Fontana di Trevi, il Foro, le Terme di Caracalla, the Pantheon...
- Squares and streets: Piazza Navona, Campo di Fiori, Via del Corso, Via dei Condotti, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna...
- Italy is the home of pizza: there are so many different ones, try all of them. Also pasta: spaghetti, ravioli, penne, lasagna, tortellini... Ice-creams are incredibly tasty: lots of flavours, colours and textures... Limoncello and Fragolino are the typical liqueurs as well as the national beers Moretti and Peroni.
- Listen to the radio and Italian singers singing in Italian: it sounds so nice!!!
- And finally, try to speak... Italian is very funny! Buongiorno, buona sera, arrivederci, ci vediamo, mi piace, che bello!
By the way, any idea of the whereabouts of the picture??? It was taken in Italy... guess!
Here, in the video, some Italian music:
