Italy

Italy left the triple alliance because they felt that the side they were on was losing, so they left and joined the side they thought were going to win.

i dont know why dont you get updated you losers

Any time as Rome is an all-year holiday destination. The spring or autumn are probably better as Rome is less crowded, and the weather is not so hot. Rome is quite a polluted city and so car fumes can be a problem in the hot, dry summer. I the spring, Easter celebrations at the Vatican are worth going to, and the main sites are all open ready for the summer. Don't miss the Vatican - the world's smallest independent country - that is completely surrounded by Rome (no passports needed to get in!) although the Swiss guard there will impress you by their toughness despite their rather strange uniform. Don't think that just because they dress in short 'skirts' they are not tough soldiers - they are. St Peter's basilica (and his tomb) in the Vatican is one of the world's largest churches. The Vatican museums are full of wonderful art treasures, and the Sistine Chapel is one of Michaelangelo's masterpieces. Also, don't miss the Colliseum - site of many a gladiator battle, the Pantheon, the best preserved Roman temple existing and now a church, the Forum, the ancient Roman 'town centre' and The Trevi Fountain (don't forget to throw 3 coins in it to ensure that you come back to Rome one day!). If you are able, visit St Paul's Basilica on the outskirts of the city, the burial place of St Paul the Apostle. One of the most moving places that I visited in Rome three years ago was the catacombs - underground tunnels where the Romans buried their dead, and where the earliest Christians hid during the persecution in the reign of Emperor Nero. The best ones I found were the catacombs of St Sebastian (below his tomb and church) which are on the old Appian Way (the ancient road along which Spartacus - aka Kirk Douglas! - was crucified along with thousands of his co-conspirators). Have a great trip.

I love going to Gardeland (an amusement park at lake Garda.) Hanging out in Venice with my friends is one thing i like to do often. They have a Hard Rock Cafe now! Towards the end of the school year, all of the cool seniors have a senior skip day where they all skip school and take the train to Venice for a day. We also have this awesome club called Club Beyond where every Tuesday, a lot of highschoolers hang out and play games at the teen center. Just about every month, they have a trip that you can go on. Novembers trip is to Florence i think and about 20 teens are going for a couple of days. Also, we have a couple of huge shopping malls in Pordenone. You can go skiing, ice skating, ice tubing, sledding or snowboarding in Piancavallo during the winter and during the summer, everyone hits the pool. And of course, you can't forget about the bars. Teenagers can legally drink in Italy. There's this really tight place called Colorados that has paintball, laser tag, an arcade and a bowling alley inside it. That's most of the things teens do for fun in Italy. Ciao

no, i dont think so well not in the summer for sure

Yes, the areas of Italy outside the alps are warmer than Greece. But in the summer, Greece and Italy have about the same temperatures.

417 stamped on a piece of jewelry denotes the gold content of the jewelry. 417 is 41.7% gold or 10k. 585 would be 58.5% gold or 14k.. Pure gold is 24k. To find the percent of real gold simply divide the carat content by 24. 10/24 = .417.

It is about 14,071, 000 .

Things to see would be maybe the colosseum, Trevi Foutain, and Sistne Chapel stuff like that.

The weather in Italy will alternate depending upon your exact location. As a brief overview, the weather at the end of December and beginning of January is chilly and crisp. Daytime temperatures are in the 50's and snow is rare. If you are planning a trip around this time of year, pack warm clothes and perhaps an umbrella.

Italy is located north of central Mediterranean Sea
in Europe. it is on the big boot
Italy occupies the Italian, or Apennine, Peninsula. It is basically located in the southern portion of the middle of the continent. It is bordered by the Mediterranean.

I need to know the same thing!

Mountians in Italy made it hard for people to cross one side of the peninsula to the other .

It depends when you want to go and what kind of travel arrangments you have. In summer there are charter flights that take people booked with all the major tour companies, and the journey time is around 2.5 hours. There are no direct scheduled flights. Right now (Nov 7, 2006) it's not summer so no charter flights either. So you need to fly from Manchester either to Amsterdam or to Frankfurt, and change to a connecting flight for Venice. Total journey time will be 4 - 4.5 hrs (or even 5.5 hrs with some airlines) and the cost will be frightening! You can check it out with the link below. An alternative would be to fly to Milan (about 2.5hrs) and get a train across to Venice. Probably cheaper.

The GDP for Italy is $38,996 per capita and $2.314 trillion total.
