Page 1: Introduction

Italy is a very diverse country, with unique culture and cuisine. Different traditions, kinds of music, and a world full of wonders for us to voyage. Come with me through this wonderful journey through italy. It will be amazing! What are you waiting for? Hop on and lets explore this wonderful journey that is italy!

Page 2: Food

There is a lot of Italian food that we know and love, like pizza and pasta, but did you know that italian food is not just that? In italian food, we have tortillas, we have lasagna, that I think everyone knows about, risotto, which is like a lot of rice with a lot of veggies with a lot of different meat, it’s a bit strange, and I don’t know about you, but I don't like risotto.

Page 3: Language

The language is very different to English, but really near to Portugese. It has words like “Arrivederci” , which is Goodbye. (I know, strange, right?) The language is very different from most other languages, because it does not only use their mouths, they also use their hands! They make signs with their hands, like, when they like something, they do a simbol I know how it looks, I just don’t know how to describe it.

Page 4: Animals

There are loads of cool animals in italy! We have the Sardinian long-eared bat, the Italian cave salamander, and did you know that there is even a type of lynx in italy??? It's called the eurasian lynx. We also have wolves, a VERY strange porcupine (really it’s so disturbing),and even a snake! Nature is so cool, right? And even a hare! We have all that in italy.

Page 5: Rome

Rome is the capital of italy and one of the most famous cities in the world, principally because it has one of the wonders of the world: The Coliseum. But Rome is not known by only thet. It is known for its delicious pizza and foods. Italian food, everyone loves it, right? Pizza, Pasta, Tortilla… It is so good! I love italian food!

Page 6: Sports

Italian sports are like, let's say… Strange. Basketball, volleyball, and cycling are the next most popular sports, with Italy having a cool tradition in all three. Italy also has big traditions in swimming, water polo, rugby union, tennis, athletics, fencing and Formula One. Ok, I know, but you may be asking this:

“But, Mathias, what is strange in italian sports? I see nothing strange in that!”

Haha! This is the interesting part: They play a sport from years ago themselves created. I don’t know the name, but it is a sport that is totally rugby but… This is the strange part. They don’t wear protection suits! I swear I am telling the truth! Go search on youtube: “italian national sport” and I promise that i'm not lying.

Page 7: Traditions

Just stating that I will be talking about holidays, not the other kinds of traditions. We have the day of the Immaculate Conception, whatever that means; we also have the feast of the seven fishes, which happens on christmas eve, that is a big feast and they eat a lot of good things (italian food is always amazing). And I am happy to know that not everyone in the world has the same traditions.

Page 8: Movies

So, I recently saw a Italian movie this year called Cinema Paradíso. It tells the story about a normal italian boy that went to school, and he had this guy that worked at the local cinema and, one day, the cinema burned down and the old man got blind. They rebuilt the cinema and he started working there. After 50 years, the guy died and the cinema closed down. It is very cool but very sad.
