Buon giorno! My name is Mario and I live in Sicily, Italy. Italy is a boot-shaped peninsula that is in the Mediterranean Sea. It is located in southern Europe. My country also includes the two large islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Something that's really unusual about Italy is that there are two independent countries inside Italy's borders. First, there is the tiny Republic of San Marino, which is in north-central Italy. Then, there is Vatican City, which is located completely within the city of Rome.
I have two brothers; one is named Salvatore, who is thirteen, and Alfonso, who is two. I have two sisters Maria, who is eight and Caterina, who is two and she is Alfonso’s twin sister. I am ten years old. Like most of the people in Italy, my family is ethnic Italian. Pretty much everyone in my country speaks Italian, although a few small areas speak German and French.
Another thing you should know about us is that we love to cook - and eat! We eat our main meal at midday, and it always has a pasta course. Believe it or not, the type of pasta you eat depends on where you live. In the north they make flat, ribbon-shaped pasta and serve it with cream sauces. In the south, we make macaroni with a tomato-based sauce. That's my all time favorite! The most popular meats that we eat are veal and pork. We also love to eat cheese. Usually, wine is served with every meal except breakfast, but my parents say I'm too young to drink it.
In Italy, you have to go to elementary or primary school when you are my age. Primary school is for all children from the age of six to eleven, which lasts about five years. When I am done with primary school, I must take examinations to enter a three-year junior high school. I have to attend school six days a week, from 8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., from September until mid-June. We speak Italian of course, but we also learn how to speak English in school.
The city I live in is Palermo. Palermo is located on the northwest coast of Sicily, which is an island off the southwest coast of the mainland. The city of Palermo is known for its citrus groves, and also the statues and monuments throughout the city. Many of the statues and monuments date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. There is a very busy port in Palermo that is crowded with passengers and freight. This port in Palermo provides many jobs. Many people in Palermo work for the Government too. Some other industries in Palermo include housing construction, shipbuilding, as well as manufacturing of food.
One of the big events I love most that happens in Palermo is the Fiera Internazionale del Mediterraneo which takes place from May through June. Another big event in Palermo is Festino di S. Rosalia which is from July 10th to July 15th. I love these events because of their wonderful fireworks displays.
