invaded Italy and drove the Etruscans from the Stock. The earliest known inhabitants seem to have been of Liguria Stock. I think Italy before the 5th century was fun to learn about.

Have you ever wondered about what happened to Italy during the wars? During the Napoleonic wars the northern and central parts of

the country were invaded and later partly annexed to the empire.

Also partly reorganized as a new kingdom. At the outbreak of World War II Italy assumed a neutral stance friendly to Germany. In June 1940 it declared war on collapsing France and on Great Britain. More than 650, 00 Italian soldiers lost their lives on the battle fields of World War I.

Italy’s fashion Did you know that five thousand years ago in China, the art of making silk was such a jealously guarded secret, that if anyone was caught telling outsiders about it would get their head cut off? Have you ever wondered about how people dressed in Italy? Well now is your chance. Leather, silk and wool were a major part of Italy’s fashion making. Fashion shows and things are good for business for Italy. All over the world, people come to Italy to see different designs and designers. In all, Italy has many different fabrics, business, and designers.

Leather, silk, and wool were a major part of Italy’s fashion making. Silk was first produced in Italy in the twelfth century. In the past, leather was used for only a few things, horses’ harnesses and scabbards for swords; today it is not only used for shoes, bags, belts, but also coats, luggage, briefcases, desks, accessories, and even hats. Since the middle ages, leather has been used by Italy’s

craftsmen to create objects of rare excellence. Workers weave, dye, card, design, and knit wool in all its forms and mix it with other fibers.

Fashion shows and things are great for business for Italian fashion. Journalists and buyers from all over the world travel to Milan many different times a year to go to specialized fashion shows. Fashion is a big business in Italy where famous designers such as Valentino and Armani thrive. The basis of the fashion world is made up of many small businesses that make clothing and accessories and can acclimate quickly to fashions latest trends.

All over the world people come to Italy to see different designs and designers. Milan is Italy’s capital city of design. Though most clothing worn for

everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses. Some of the top fashion designers are Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, Gorgio Armani, Miyccia Prada, Valentino, Gianni, and Donatella Versace.

Italy’s top designer brands are looking to China for salvation this year with revenues falling due to dept crisis that has cast an air of gloom as Milan fashion week kicks off.

Italy has a lot of interesting holidays and festivals that are apart of Italy life.

Did you know that Italy celebrates Christmas in a way different way than we do?

The Italians celebrate Christmas on December 5th instead of December 25th. They celebrate Christmas so early because they thought it was important to celebrate Jesus birthday longer than just one day. On Christmas Eve, no food was eaten until the midnight mass was done with, and then when they ate they had a big Christmas meal. Christmas in Italy is much different there than it is here!

Have you ever heard about Italians favorite foods like cushion or cannoil or why people like Italians food so much? Italians are mostly known for their foods because of how delicious it is and how healthy there food is.

Italians put a lot of vegetables in their food but another reason people like Italian food is because of the crazy names!

known for a lot of good things about their foods and there cannoil is http://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+italian+cannoli&hl=en& gbv=2&prmd=imvnse&source

Have you ever wondered about Italy’s parades and festivals or what they make at the parades and festivals? Well here’s 1 important festival St. Josephs Day, this day is to celebrate or honor Mary the mother of Jesus. At this festival they create bread altars and at the end of the day after a big feast they take home a part of the bread altars for good luck. They also have another festival all based on tomatoes where they eat tomatoes and really honor tomatoes because tomatoes are so big in Italy,

but they only do this in the summer because that’s the only time tomatoes grow. Then at Christmas they start Christmas around December 5th because they think it should be more than 1 day to celebrate Jesus. Then on Christmas day they have a huge feast but what they mostly eat on Christmas is their main fish eel. So Italians eat a lot of foods for festivals have a lot of feasts and like spending time with family! http:// google.com/imgres?q=italians+feast&start=188&hl=en&www. safe=active&sa=X&rls=com.

Since Italians food is made out of so many vegetables have you ever wondered what the vegetables are that they grow, and what are some of the foods they put the vegetables in?

Their main vegetable is tomatoes and olives but also they have a lot of vine yards which makes there wine that is another thing Italians are famous for. They also grow a lot of peppers cauliflower spinach and broccoli. The key in to making Italian food is to know your vegetable and that healthy food can be good for you.
