What else to see in Italy?Tired of seeing tourists in
your pictures of the leaning tower of Pisa?
Skip over to Lucca instead, where the streets
are filled with fewer tourists (or at least fewer
obvious ones) and the Tuscan lifestyle is alive
and well.
Italians would never put chicken, pineapple and many of the other extras used around the world on a pizza – not even if you ask for them.
Most Italians feel the need to eat pasta with every meal – they then move on to steak or whatever comes next. If they do not eat pasta, they feel they have not eaten.
Venice has over 400
footbridges.
The highest point in Italy is Mont Blanc, in the alps
at 15,770 feet.
The mechanical clock, the barometer, the thermometer, optical glasses and the telephone are all Italian inventions.
