PresentIng‌ Our adOPted cOuntry Before we do the talking and presenting, We want to ask you, what do you know about Italy?
the hIstOry Of rOme The history of Rome is very fascinating, It goes a bit like this: About 3,000 years ago, A tribe of people called “The Latin’s” settled on The place that we know as Rome today, They chose a very good place to live. From the top of the hills, they could easily see enemies approaching. They could easily go by boat on the river Tiber at the banks of the newly discovered village. Not before long, New villages began growing near the previous 3,000 year old village where the Latin's first settled on. Soon the villages all collided together and formed the city as we know as Rome.
abOut Italy Italy was actually not Italy. You see, 100 years ago (1 century) Italy was actually 20 countries joining together as time passed by.

ItalIan games ďƒ’
Chess is believed to have originated from Italy. Morra is one of the most famous Italian games to ever originate. Here are the rules: While there are many variations of morra, most forms can be played with two, three, or more players. In the most popular version, all players throw out a single hand, each showing zero to five fingers, and call out loud their guess at what the sum of all fingers shown will be. If one player guesses the sum, that player earns one point. The first player to reach three points wins the game. One that I bet most of you would know, Mario has hit the big time on the computer screen, you use the arrows and space bar to control Mario, try to complete as much levels as you can,
