Italy

Classical Greece and Rome profoundly influenced the Renaissance in Italy by reviving interest in their artistic and literary ideals. Artists and architects drew inspiration from classical forms, emphasizing symmetry, proportion, and the use of columns and domes, as seen in works like Brunelleschi's dome and Michelangelo's sculptures. In literature, humanist scholars rediscovered and studied ancient texts, leading to a focus on themes of individualism and human experience, prominently reflected in the writings of figures like Petrarch and Machiavelli. This revival fostered a cultural flourishing that marked the Renaissance as a distinct period of artistic and intellectual achievement.

The Rome-Berlin Axis

<3 Joella

In the same manner it was supported when it was constructed. But it has gotten some "help" over the years. In the last couple of decades, the responsible parties rolled up their sleeves and removed something approaching 40 meters3 of earth from under the higher side of the structure. This had the effect of straightening it toward the verticle by about a foot and a half at the top. For the first time in its history, it is no longer moving. And also in the good-news corner of the paper is that it's open to the public again. Also, the folks who lived near the tower in the direction it was leaning have returned to their homes and don't have to sleep with an eye and an ear open. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on this engineering point of interest.

Sicily is the island that Italy's "boot" is kicking. Check it out on a map.

You might be able to see how it got it's name from Venice.

I would be surpirsed if there is one. What time frame? Firearms have been made in Italy for hundres of years.

The leaning Tower of Pisa has many myths including that it is going to fall in 2016. It is also a rumor that they were planning on taking it down in the late 1900's. Today, we know that was not true. Another myth is that the leaning Tower of Pisa was designed and meant to lean although that is not true.

It led to the rise of fascist regime in Italy and the nazist regime in Germany

Definitely the food; i recommend pizza and pasta, especially in the South of Italy. Clothes and shoes are also very good, but quite expensive. You can find nice people but be careful, in some stores they might try to charge you more just because you're a tourist. The most beautiful cities are definitely Rome, Florence and Venice. Also, I think the mountain towns are gorgeous and worth the effort - driving in Italy is a challenge, but it is a great way to see many towns that you would miss travelling by rail. Tuscany, Sienna, San Gimingnano and Greve are all beautiful towns. In Umbria there is Orvietto (there's a beautiful duomo/cathedral there), Spello and Perugia - all of which are nice. Food, wine, countryside, history, and the people who are all very friendly, and if you try to speak Italian, they will try to understand you and communicate with you (except when you are in a big city like Rome where they are very very busy). Amalfi Coast is also spectacular, just south of Naples. Have fun!

Hitler long admired Mussolini, and even tried to model his rise to power on Mussolini's. However, Mussolini did not return the admiration- in fact, Mussolini at first disliked Hitler quite a bit. In 1934, Nazis in neighboring Austria murdered their dictator, Engelbert Dollfuss; Italy nearly went to war with Germany over it (Mussolini and Dollfuss had been friends; also Mussolini didn't want Germany to gain Austria's territory, resources, etc). In 1935, when Germany began rebuilding its military in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, Mussolini met with British and French leaders at Stresa, Italy, to try to form an anti-German alliance. The attempt failed, as France and especially Britain had no desire to fight another war with Germany. Britain also made a deal with Germany behind Mussolini's back, allowing Germany to build a navy again.

All of this changed a few months after the Stresa negotiations. Italy went to war with Ethiopia after a skirmish on the border between Italian-controlled Somalia and Ethiopia; this led to a full-blown Italian invasion and occupation of Ethiopia. France and England wavered over whether to accept or condemn the invasion; this, along with Britain's naval treaty with Germany, shattered Mussolini's view of them. Only one leader really made any effort to support Italy's war- Hitler (although he also quietly gave supplies to the Ethiopians...).

Mussolini quickly warmed up to Hitler. He gave his consent to Germany's sending troops to the Rhineland region- an act also forbidden by the Versailles treaty (the Rhineland is a region of western Germany that borders France and Belgium). Around that same time, he also consented to Germany taking control of Austria, changing his stance since the Dollfuss assassination. Things moved fairly quickly from that point, as the two dictators shared a lot of common goals and ideas. An important point was that both strongly opposed Communism.

At the end of October 1936, Germany and Japan signed the "Anti-Comintern Pact", which was an alliance to help each other if Communists attacked one of them (at that time, the Soviet Union was the world's only Communist country). Two weeks later, Mussolini signed the pact as well. The Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis was formed; Hitler and Mussolini were officially allies.
