My interest in going to Italy all started in 7th grade when I learned about Pompeii, you know the place where the volcano blew up and it happened so fast that there impressions of the people who were there still around? I know it;s not the normal reason of why I initially wanted to go to Italy, but I remember how facinating it was to read about t hem, and to beable to see the ruins that old and to see how people looked back then!
Another weird reason of why I want to go to Italy is because of one of my all time favorite movies Roman Holiday one of the best scenes is when Gregory Peck takes Audrey Hepburn to this old satue and its called Bocca della Vertia which means mouth of truth, and people say to test someones honesty stick their hand in the mouth and ask them a question and if you lie it wil bite off you fingers! Well after doing some research I found out that this statue was made in the 1st century! Which is just so cool!
