Italy: Did you know?
Pasta, pizza and ice-cream are the most famous dishes of Italy, but Italian cuisine has so much more to offer. And don’t forget a nice glass of rosso dolcetto to wash it down. In fact Italy is where the Slow Food movement began, protesting against the fast food that was becoming prevalent in a country whose cuisine is famous the world over.
Beware when crossing the road in Italy. Unlike the UK, vehicles will not stop at a pedestrian crossing for you, not until you first step into the road. Even then, the scooters are likely to just zip around you as you cross.
Mount Vesuvius, the volcano on which Naples sits and which destroyed Pompeii, is an active volcano. Its last eruption was during the Second World War and it erupts roughly every sixty years.
