Rosetta & Sylvia's tour of Italy
Climate
The country is often called "sunny Italy" but clouds,rain,fog and nagging cold can mar an Italian winter,particularly in the north.Northern coastal citias,however are warmed by the waters of the Lingurian Sea,and winters there are more bearable since Italy stretches almost directly north to south,its climate ranges from Europe to Africa.The highest temperature is in the southern region with about 30 degrees,the lowest temperature is in the northern region with about -2 1/2 degrees.In the north it rains alot in Veneto and Friuli about 112mm ,in the south it rains much more then the north the average rain fall is (60mm) to (29mm).
Ways of Life
In the Northern Part the way of life is that the climate is much cooler then the southern part and also all the buisness is mostly all in the Northern part also there are no tourists in the north.In the Central Part the ways of life is that there are alot of tourists because of the view and agricultural mueseums and also because of the stores to shop in.Last but not least the Southern part of Italy there are alot of tourists mostly because of the weather and the ocean not because of the buisness but because alot of the people go for pleasure.

Opinions
Before writing this report,I had opinions about the country I chose.This is what I thought,
I thought the food was good and thought the country was very beautiful and interesting I thought the way they learned in Italy was cool the way they only have 3 periods and finish school at 12:30 and I thought the way they spoke was very difficulty to understand.
