LOCATION

• Italy or the Italian Republic is located in southern Europe, it is a peninsula that expands into the heart or center of the Mediterranean Sea. Italy is an area that is found to be bigger than the entire state of Arizona. Italy’s land is calculated to be about 1,932.2km and it has boundaries surrounding nearly all over them, border countries such as Austria, France, Holy See, San Marino, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Its physical landscape and structural location are made up of rugged and mountainous views as well with some plains and coastal lowlands. Looking at its borders, seems as they need a lot of protection.

CLIMATE

• Italy and its all-around different climate, The Coastal regions, where some of the bigger and larger towns are found experience a Mediterranean climate with some winters and hot and dry summers. However the winter season tend to change from clouds and rain to warmer, sunnier weather. Throughout the Peninsula in Italy in the Inland the weather is often cold and wetter with frequent snow on the mountains during the winter. Along the Major North. The climate can be very cold and freezing in the winter, however in these location summers tend to be the raining season. Throughout the South of the country it can get very hot, however temperatures can be very hot and humid and during the winters theirs is only about 4 hours of daylight. The Inland North has a humid subtropical climate while the Coastal has a Mediterranean climate.

POPULATION

• Italy is the fifth most populous country in Europe and the 23rd most populous in the world with a population of around 61.1 million in 2015 with roughly 52% being female and 48% being males. The population density is quite uneven with half of its population living in the Po Valley Looks as though with all their visiting tourist and citizens they don’t need to welcome in immigrants. Various race of migrants are living born into Italy from Romans and Mormons into Albanians most of those migrating during the Roman Empire era. The native Italians make up about 96& of Italy’s population and yes Italy is a very luxurious and one of the crowdies’ places in the world. However, population studies show that within the next 35 years Italy will suffer a major drop in the in population and suffer a higher death rate, only then I believe immigrants will be welcomed. The supposed drop rate would be 20 % which will be a great loss in Italy’s population.

• The five major cities in Italy as following research shows are Venice, Turin,

Florence, Verona, and Rome. Venice is a one of a kind city built on water in the,

middle of a lagoon. Venice is one of Italy’s most beautiful and most romantic places

not only for its citizens but for visitors all over the world. A place which you could

fix a broken relationship that’s how Romantic it is. However the heart and soul of

Venice would have to be the Piazza San Mark’s Basilica a religious place of Italians

visited by people throughout the world to see its historian artifacts. Venice could be

described as a place with churches, palaces and beautiful canal all around it. Venice

was formerly a bridge between East and West.

• Turin, anything a visitor would expect there you would find major cultural hubs

with excellent museums, elegant shops, and good restaurants such as the Porto di

Savona, La Campannina, Amici Mie, etc. It is famous for its cafes and architecture. It

is a great city for wandering and exploring new things as well as learning different

history through it buildings.

• Florence, it is one of Italy’s most important and most famous cities for it

renaissance and its architecture as well as its art centers. Medici palaces and

gardens can be found there. Florence holds many greatest artistic treasures in the

world. Although very crowded because tourist always visit the cathedral, the

churches of Santa Maria Novella and treasured artifact painting and creations of

Michelangelo can be found there.

• Verona, the place which inspire the greatest writer William Shakespeare to set and

make two plays there, the most known Romeo and Juliet, and two gentlemen in

Verona. It was once the most powerful cities during the Roman Empire era. Very few

tourist visit Verona so it is not that much crowded, it is built around the Adige

River. Its symbolic monument in Verona is the Arena because that where romans

found there entertainment.

CULTURE FOOD

• Italian food has been a major part in the influence of other diches around the world. The most important sides that a dish will almost certainly contains cheese, wine, and pasta for Italians food is not just nourishment but it is life and important skill of life. Although American deemed pizza and spaghetti to be eating every day Italian choose to switch it up eating rice, potatoes, fish etc. What one will eat there is obviously Italian food however there is no necessity to bring American food because there is American restaurants in Italy such as The Black American Bar.

CULTURE HOLIDAYS

• The following holidays and festivals that are going to be

presented are those of Italian history and religious

practices. I Epifania or The Epiphany is a religious holiday

which is celebrated on the sixth of January and it is

supposed to symbolize the birth of Jesus. The word

epiphany is Greek for miracle because its significance is

the 3 important events that occurred in the early life if

Jesus. Italian say its miracle because of the newly born

Jesus and the three wise kings, his baptism by john

batiste, and his first miracle he performed in the wedding

of Cana. The epiphany also marks the end of Christmas

season. The epiphany is like Christmas for Americans, we

get presents woo!!!

• The next holiday is Festa Della Liberazione or the

Liberation day which is celebrated on the 25 of April. It is

celebrated to commemorate the freeing of Italy by allied

troops in the Second World War II. This holiday is meant to

honor the lives of those people who or Italian who lost

their lives while fighting in the war or against the Nazis.

• The other is probably like the United States Labor Day but

in Italy it is referred to as Giorno Di Maggio or May Day,

and its celebrated the first of May for not only workers to

take the day off but also for political parties to protest

against their cause out in the streets just as normal

civilians. The cause is usually friendly, there is

CULTURE RELIGION

• The major religion in Italy is Roman Catholicism. The Vatican City, located in the heart of Rome, is the hub of Roman Catholicism and where the Pope stays. Its Roman Catholicism because both the state and the religion are sanctioned by laws the law and religion go hand and hand. Geographically the religion is within Italian soil. About 88 percent pertain to the Roman Catholicism while the rest are just followers. Religion came with the romans during the Roman Empire era since they brought there believes.

PHYSICAL HAZARDS

• Physical hazards risks include landslides, mudflows, avalanches, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding; land subsidence in Venice. These are factors because Italy is in a peninsula which is more favorable to have major disasters. Other factors which affects Italy is pollution and climate change because of the change of environment.

BEAUTIFUL PLACES

• Cinque Terre is one of the most beautiful places in Italy and its one more reason for why Italy is such a great travel destination. It is a rugged portion of coast it has hundreds of walking trails which tourist can easily admire the sweet beauty of nature and its essence. It is named for the five towns of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Did I mention that it’s a fishing village I mean what else one could ask for a city with a perfect view of the Mediterranean Sea.

• Verona and the Lakes is the gem of northern Italy Verona has wonderful lakes which are essential because it’s the beauty of the city and of the people. Many tourist visit the lakes to relax and enjoy the beauty and the nature of it. The water I a light blueish greenish color as if you were not in this world instead if you were in a place of peace.

WARNINGS

• I believe that what travelers should be aware of is that Italy has very hazards weathers and could have violent natural attacks. However what travelers should also be aware of is that Italy has had a low crime rate and been decreasing over the last 8 years. What I believe travelers should be aware of is that the climate is very different and that it can affect the body condition of people.
