center of the Mediterranean. It forms a peninsula
that extends from the Alps to the vicinity of the
African coast.

Did you know that a variant of

Catalan is spoken in an area of
Sardinia? There are more than
10,000 Catalan-speaking people in
the north of the island, in the city of
Alguero. This is because, in the
fourteenth century, it fell into
Catalan hands and until not long
ago, it was still the most widely used
language.
Coin: (Euro).
Euro (€) is the name given to the official
currency of the European Union also known
by its abbreviation "EU", this is the currency
used by 18 of the 28 members that make up
the EU. This coin came into circulation as of
January 1, 1999, thus replacing the old
national currencies of the countries that use
it up to now, of course this measure was
exposed and agreed some time in advance,
specifically in 1995.

The Italian lira was the official currency of Italy 1861 -

2002. Between 1999 and 2002 it coexisted with the
euro, being definitively replaced by it. The fixed
exchange rate was 1,936.27 lire for every euro, The lira
was also the official currency of the Napoleonic
Kingdom of Italy, between 1807 and 1814.The term
comes from the value of the physical weight of a pound
of high purity silver, keeping a direct relation with the
pound sterling; In some countries, such as Cyprus and
Malta, the words lira and pound were used
synonymously, before the euro was approved in 2008
in both countries.
Bolognese spaghetti: Pasta is also an essential part of Italian
cuisine and among all its options, spaghetti Bolognese is one of the
popular ones. This pasta recipe is served with a spicy tomato sauce and
some rich minced meat.

Lasagna: Lasagna is one of the most delicious typical Italian

dishes that we can find. Although the preparation has changed
over time, the most common is to cook it with pasta sheets,
béchamel sauce, cheese and meat. What other ingredient do you
like to accompany it with?
Risotto: is a typical Italian dish from the
northern region of the country that makes up
Piedmont, Lombardy and Verona. It is a very
starchy rice that is generally combined with
mushrooms, cheeses, spinach, and shellfish.
Didn't you fancy it?

Italian pizza: Without fear of being wrong, pizza is perhaps

the Italian dish that has the most presence worldwide and
this irresistible variation of bread is so versatile that it can
be combined with ingredients for any type of taste. Pizza
originated in Naples in the seventeenth century but from the
nineteenth century began to be made with cheese.
Ravioli: Another really amazing Italian recipe
is ravioli, those tiny portions of stuffed pasta
that have conquered the whole world and so
much so, it is that thanks to the migration of
Italians, they are also a national dish in
Argentina.

Take time to see it, for example,

Coliseo de Roma: The quintessential symbol of
Rome is the Colosseum, a spectacular thousand-
year-old amphitheater that will allow you to travel
back to the times of the Roman Empire. In it,
gladiatorial fights, animal shows and even
executions of prisoners were a constant. In its
golden age it could house more than 50,000
personas.
Pompeii: The history of this city of Ancient Rome
ends in AD 79. when Vesuvius erupted and was
buried. Today it is a ghost town whose visit is
overwhelming when you wander through its streets
and imagine what life was like for those people
before they were surprised by the lava.
 Italian :
( lingua Italiana) is the official language of
the State, and is spoken by 95% of the
population as their first language.
However, the officiality of the Italian is not
included in any article of the constitution;
but this one is written in Italian. In
addition, in art. 99 of the statute of
Trentino-Alto Adige / South Tyrol
(considered a constitutional law of the
country) indicates that the official
language of the State is Italian. The Italian
language has different regional varieties
(regional Italian), with phonological and
lexical differences. The dialect areas
closest to the current standard Italian and
their characteristics are: Tuscan dialect
(base of modern Italian), Corsican, Gallures
and Sassarés (north of Sardinia) and
dialects of central Italian (Romanesco).
 Curiosities
1. Italy borders 6 different countries: 2 within the national territory (Vatican and San Marino) and 4 in the north of the
country (France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia).
2. The oldest university in Europe is in Italy, specifically in Bologna: it was founded in the year 1088.
3. Italy has the only active volcanoes in Europe on its territory: we are talking about Etna and Stromboli in Sicily, and
Vesuvius in Campania.
4. Italy has more World Heritage sites than any other country: it currently has 68 (including cultural, natural and
intangible assets). China and Spain follow.
5. Monte Blanco (on the border between Italy and France) is the highest mountain in Europe at 4,808 meters.
6. Venice has a strange phenomenon: “high water”. This is due to 3 different factors: the wind that pushes the water to the
island, the tides (usually coincides with a full moon) and the low atmospheric pressure. But don't worry too much
7. Since we are in flour… did you know that pizza, as you know it, was invented in 1889 to please Queen Margherita? Hence
the name of the simplest and most famous pizza. It only has 3 ingredients: tomato, mozzarella and basil. Each one of a
color from the Italian flag.
8. If we Italians know something to do well (apart from eating and cooking), it's clothes! Italy is one of the world leaders in
high fashion: Gucci, Valentino, Dolce e Gabbana, Versace, Prada, Armani, Cavalli and sooo much more!
