Italy

Titian received his education in Venice, Italy.

Italy was a target for invasion. During the Renaissance, they many city-states in Italy constantly battled for power, leaving Italy weak and not united. French King Charles VIII invaded Italy in 1949. His eirs Louis XII formed the League of Cambrai with the pope and German emperor Maximilian. A new pope was threatened by the French and joined with the Spanish and Germans to expel France from Italy. When French later returned, the Habsburg-Valois Wars began. The battlefield was often in Italy and the country did not achieve unification until 1870.

The 60 million residents of Italy (about 15 times as many as those living in Puerto Rico) have an income of about $29,000 per capita. The Italians are not just richer, they are very wealthy by comparison. If Puerto was a US State it would rank last on the list of states in almost every area of wealth and productivity. That reason alone may be the reason that the US Congress has failed to take an initiaative on the Statehood issue for Puerto Rico.

The setting is probably but not definitely in Italy, but there's no reason to quibble over that. Italy is a perfect setting because of its reputation for having families, like Montresor's, who will swear vengeance on another person merely for looking sideways at that family member. Being Irish myself, I recognize that a story set elsewhere, Ireland for example, would not have the same impact as "The Cask of Amontillado" if it were entitled "A Fifth of Irish Whiskey."

Italy is larger compared to Great Britain. Italy has an area of 301,338 square kilometers while Great Britain is only 229,848 square kilometers in area.

No, Magellan was not Italian. He was born in Portugal and then later adopted Spain as his country.

Assisi

The city of Livorno was known during the 16th-17th centuries as Legorno, so Leghorn is a pretty short leap. Thanks for asking this one -- I always wondered, but never got around to researching it.

This gesture is used widely in Europe, The standard meaning is "Do you think I'm stupid".

No. The Bridge of Sighs is the covered bridge prisoners passed through on their way from the court to the prison.

For players still playing, Crespo, Ronaldo, Seedorf have played for both AC Milan and Inter Milan.

Louis IX was a French monarch! Italian Kings were Humbert ( Umberto, no H at the beginning of a word in Italian), Victor Immanuel l and II and ( Buck General)- he wore the uniform of a brigadier General- Umberto II. The Queens were Margherita Di Savoia, Elena di Savoia ( died l952) and for about a month- Maria Jose, wife of Umberto II. No Luigis in the pie!

For Job and Studies

In the South, there is infertile soil, only subsistence farming (farming to survive not to make money), poor education, only primary jobs (farming), very mountainous (has a high relief, the Apennines travel all the way down Italy), shorter life expectancy, poor medical care, hot, dry climate and poor transportation links with the rest of Europe.

In the North, there are secondary jobs (factories) and tertiary jobs (providing a service: doctor, teacher, nurse, fireman, policeman), tourism (Alps (skiing)), flat land, good irrigation (water) systems (River Po), more opportunities and the Industrial Triangle (Milan (fashion central), Turin (own Fiat) and Genoa (major port)).

People move for better lives, more job opportunities, more leisure activities, more wealth, steadier, more pleasurable climate and rainfall, more relaxed (not having to slave away just to survive), decent education, worthwhile job and industrial towns and cities.

However, some Northern Italians can get annoyed with Southern Italians, if they think they are using up all their jobs, educations, water supplies, food, money, housing and transportation.

Thanks, I basically just copied out my geography test for this :]
