As my dad is in the family room yelling at his cousin in Italian, I sit and listen. soon to find out that they were having a "calm" conversation about vacationing there. Italy. What is there to hate about it? the food is great and the culture is even better. The actual reason why I chose Italy is because I am Italian and wanted to learn a bit more about where I came from. Although I'm not going to learn Italian any time soon I though it be fun to know what its all about. I know that Italy is in the southern part of Europe. There is a city there called Venice there that was built on water and the only means of travel through the "streets" is by boat. Some things to know about the food in Italy is that they grow most of their ingredients on a farm. they are very self-efficient and in some families, could live without any outside food supply. The world famous Italian Pasta was not actually invented by Italy but by China. Italians knew how to make it right though!

I would love to travel to Italy sometime in my life. Even though I am not Italian, some of the food I have had is amazing and tasty!
ReplyDeleteThought it was interesting to figure out that China made the first Pasta and not Italy, but we all know who makes it the best haha. Great job!
