What I learned
I learned that Pizza is really Italian. Another thing is that there are 650 different types of pastas. I also learned what the colors of the flag mean. As well as Italy has a president.
Some more things I learned are Italy uses the Euro. Italy used to use something called a lire. The capital city of Italy is Rome. The Roman Empire fell after it was raided by barbarians. That is all I have learned.
