Many people from all over the world visit
Italy because of its important historical and
artistic heritage.
Has anyone of you ever been in Italy?
If so, which cities did you visit?
A view of Rome (Roma) 

Maybe someone among you visited
Florence (Firenze)…
Florence’s Old Bridge (Ponte Vecchio)

or someone else has heard about Venice
(Venezia)..
In Venice, people use boats instead of cars!

I come from a Norther region called
Emilia-Romagna.
The region’s capital
is the city of
Bologna,
which is best known
for its ancient university
(it was founded almost 1,000 years ago!)

BOLOGNA
As you can see, it’s a very ancient city!

11. © Francesco Scudellari 2010
My hometown is not Bologna, but a smaller
city called Ravenna, located on the
Eastern part of the region, very close to
the sea.

Bologna
(the capital city)

In Ravenna you can find many things…
Historical buildings
Natural areas like
pinewoods
(in Spanish:pinares)

And of course, as we are close to the sea
we have plenty of beaches
and an amusement park as well, with a
huge roller coaster!
What’s the Spanish word for “roller coaster”?

Besides its art and history, Italy is known for
its gastronomy.
Have you ever tasted typical Italian food?
Can you tell me the name of an Italian dish?

15. © Francesco Scudellari 2010
I am sure that you said…
PIZZA
or
PASTA
or
SPAGHETTI
or
PARMESAN CHEESE (Parmigiano)!!!
But they’re not the only typical dishes:
every region has its traditional recipes.

16. © Francesco Scudellari 2010
For example, my region’s traditional dish is called
“Piadina”.
Piadina is a sort of
thin bread, served hot
(=caliente)
and filled with everything
you want, like:
- Ham
- Salami
- Cheese
- Vegetables
Have you ever heard about “Piadina” before?

17. © Francesco Scudellari 2010
Another typical dish from my area is home-made pasta
Usually we eat it on Sundays or holidays, because its preparation takes much time…
 a woman preparing
pasta at home!

18. © Francesco Scudellari 2010
…. But the result is quite good!

19. © Francesco Scudellari 2010
Are you hungry?
(=¿tenéis hambre?)

20. © Francesco Scudellari 2010
I am hungry too!
I think I will eat (=comer) something during the next break (=recreo)!
