Article 1 of the Italian Constitution states: Italy is a democratic Republic founded on labour.

The people who are called to temporarily administer the republic are not owners, but servants; and the governed are not subjects, but citizens. And the sovereignty, that is the power to make choices that involve the entire community, belongs to the people, in accordance with the concept of a democracy, from the

Greek demos (people) and kratìa (power). However, this power is not to be exercised arbitrarily, but in the forms and within the limits established by the rule of law.

Famous monuments : The Pantheon Once a Roman temple, the Pantheon is now a church that stands majestically in the centre of Rome. This is considered the best-preserved monument from Ancient Rome and has stood mostly untouched through Roman history. The structure of the building is phenomenal, with its materials being somewhat of a mystery. It’s also home to the largest unsupported dome in the world. The Colosseum Arguably the most famous building in Italy, the Colosseum was the largest amphitheatre built in 80 AD. It was designed to host gladiator fights and seated 5000 audience members. It’s a large part of Roman history and an important stop on any first-time Italy trip. Roman Forum In the heart of the city, the Forum stands as a memory of Ancient Roman life. This was once the main centre of the city and it saw many of the main activities happening. These included social, religious, and even political events. Today, it’s surrounded by ruins and is a major attraction for many. Ovo Castle Not only is this castle Naple’s oldest, but it also has many interesting stories behind it. It has seen years of history,

including many different dignitaries and plenty of renovating over the years. The castle sits on the Gulf of Naples and offers views of the sea to one side, and the city to the other. The Giant’s Fountain One of the most beautiful monuments in Italy, the Giant’s Fountain was created in the 1600s by Italian sculptors Pietro Bernini and Michelangelo Naccherino. It has been moved around the city of Naples quite a lot and is now found on the Bench of Saint Lucia. The design of the fountain’s arches combined with the intricate sculptures that adorn it, make this a pleasant sight to seek out. Piazza Municipio This large piazza in Naples is surrounded by many other monuments of Italy. Including the Basilica Cattedrale di San Nicolò and the staircase created by Baroque-style architect Paolo Labisi. The piazza is also home to the Mayor of Naples’ office and the 20th century Palazzo of the Bank of Italy. Pompeii Ruins Pompeii City was first struck by a terrible earthquake in 62 AD. And then, not even 20 years later, the still-active volcano, Mount Vesuvius erupted over the town. Thousands of residents perished and the town was blanketed in a layer of burning pumice stone. Centuries later, the area is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and

provides a well-preserved ancient city for many to wander around. Tourist place: 1. COLOSSUM Pompeii 2. Florence Duomo Santa Maria del Fiore Mount 3. The Grand Canal in Venice Vesuvius 4. and Leaning Tower of 5. Pisa



CUISINE OF ITALAY: 1. Pizza Though a slab of flat bread served with oil and spices was around long before the unification Italy, there’s perhaps no dish that is as common or as representative of the country as the humble pizza. 2. Bottarga Smoked eggs from the rat of the sea. Wait, what? Don’t be put off by this rough description on an Italian delicacy because the other way to describe bottarga is “Sicilian Caviar”.

Ossobuco The world-famous ossobuco alla milanese is a bone-in veal shank, cooked low and slow until meltingly tender in a broth of meat stock, white wine, and veggies. Risotto Rounding out the holy trinity of Italian starches is rice, which is often eaten as the creamy, luxurious risotto. Ironically, Italians aren’t huge rice eaters, what with all the pasta and the polenta, but they are the largest producers of rice in Europe. Truffles Ah, truffles. This pungent, elusive fungus is one of the most expensive and coveted foods in the world – and Italy is one of the few countries where they can be found in abundance!
