The number of restaurants in Italy are constantly changing. If you were to try looking for a more specific branch or type of restaurant, in might be more conducive in your search query.

I am sorry but I can't state the specific number as of now.

Although a Kingdom of Italy had been formed, it did not include all of Italy. The missing parts were Rome and Venetia. Neither could be gained easily because Rome was under the protection of Napoleon III and French troops while Venetia was controlled by Austria and its troops. But an opportunity arrived and Venetia was annexed in 1866. That opportunity was the Seven Weeks' War between Austria and Prussia. Austria promised Venetia if Italy stayed neutral and Prussia promised Venetia if Italy joined them in the war. Italy decided to join Prussia due to a previous agreement. Although the Italian army did poorly, Prussia won the war and it held up its part of the bargain.

There are a lot of plays which are at least partly set in Italy. The reason for this may well have to do with Shakespeare's sources. As a student in school, he would have been set Latin passages for translation, and these would have included Roman historians like Tacitus. We know that some of Shakespeare's plays derive directly from Tacitus. In addition, more modern Italian storytellers like Bocaccio and Ariosto were popular in England of that time, and many Italian stories found themselves translated, first into French and then from French to English (The Romeo and Juliet story followed this route).

Against a background of stories from Ancient Rome and Renaissance Italy, it would make sense to use these familiar settings for original tales (Ancient Greece was another favourite, used by Shakespeare on six occasions). The Italians were thought of as sophisticated, cunning, devious and perhaps a little licentious. These qualities went well with comedies which relied on deceptions and sexual passion to drive the plot. Venice was a cosmopolitan place, making it a natural setting for plays that deal with race relations (Merchant of Venice and Othello)

Further, in writing comedies, Shakespeare avoided (with one exception) setting them in contemporary England. Perhaps he felt that a foreign setting made the play more exotic and helped the audience to get into it better. However, there were a lot of popular prejudices against various European peoples (the Spanish in particular were disliked having recently attempted to invade England) and of all of them the Italians were probably seen in the best light.

Yes you can. I think the duty-free allowance is one carton of 200 cigarettes, or a similar amount in cigars or pipe tobacco.

There are no direct flights from Dublin to Sardinia. So the journey takes more than one flight. The flying time would be about 3 hours, but there could be a time between the flights which makes the total journey time longer. So it will depend on what combination of flights you get. You would easily make the full journey on the same day.

No. Italy had no overseas empire in the modern period, save for part of present day Libya, and consequently little contact with people of Asian origin unlike the United Kingdom and France both of which have large Asian populations as a result of the British and French Empires in the 18th and 19th centuries.
