Experiencing Italian Food

One could contend that Italian food is the most famous in the world. However, the cliche of pizza and pasta is far from the truth.

Italy is home to some of the best food in the world: regional specialties, fine seasonal delicacies, terrific desserts and drinks.

A year later, a team of gay people publicly demonstrated for their rights for the first moment in the history of the country.
