Rosetta & Sylvia's tour of Italy

Climate

The country is often called "sunny Italy" but clouds,rain,fog and nagging cold can mar an Italian winter,particularly in the north.Northern coastal citias,however are warmed by the waters of the Lingurian Sea,and winters there are more bearable since Italy stretches almost directly north to south,its climate ranges from Europe to Africa.The highest temperature is in the southern region with about 30 degrees,the lowest temperature is in the northern region with about -2 1/2 degrees.In the north it rains alot in Veneto and Friuli about 112mm ,in the south it rains much more then the north the average rain fall is (60mm) to (29mm).

Ways of Life

In the Northern Part the way of life is that the climate is much cooler then the southern part and also all the buisness is mostly all in the Northern part also there are no tourists in the north.In the Central Part the ways of life is that there are alot of tourists because of the view and agricultural mueseums and also because of the stores to shop in.Last but not least the Southern part of Italy there are alot of tourists mostly because of the weather and the ocean not because of the buisness but because alot of the people go for pleasure.

The country size can be compared to no other country because the size of Italy is very large and can not be compared.

Opinions

Before writing this report,I had opinions about the country I chose.This is what I thought,
I thought the food was good and thought the country was very beautiful and interesting I thought the way they learned in Italy was cool the way they only have 3 periods and finish school at 12:30 and I thought the way they spoke was very difficulty to understand.
After completing this report,I have opinions about the country I chose.This is what I think.
Now I think this is the greatest place to visit now that I know alot about it.I Know about there food and what they eat,what they like to do in there spare time,there fasion,how they live and alot more.I think Italy is an amazing country to go to and Ican't wait to go again this summer.Now that I know alot about Italy I think this country will always be the best country not just because I'm from it but because of everything about it.

Early Historical Facts

Only since 1870 has modern Italy existed as a united country for 1500 years ago it was divided in many parts.Now that Italy is one the people want to change it again and seperate the bottom and the top because all the buisness is in the northern part and the tourists are in the southern part so now that they are probably going to seperate everything will change all the history will be changed and everything will be so different especially if one part of your familly comes from the south and the other comes from the north.
