National cuisine of Italy
It seems to many that everyone knows about Italian cuisine, but do not understand all regional differences, because the country of Italy is very diverse. Of course, the majority of Italians prefer pasta, but pizza do not really like pizza in the northern regions. Products that are most often found in Italian dishes are vegetables, not meat. In the south, the country is preferred by a dark green olive oil, obtained after the first processing, and in the north more refined oil, golden color. As for quality, it all depends on personal preferences.
Weather in Italy
The country of Italy located on the Appeninsky Peninsula is incredibly beautiful in spring and autumn, so it is best to choose this season. The winter season lasts from November to March, so tourists who prefer ski entertainment can give preference to them. Who wants to sunbathe on the magnificent beaches of Italy should choose June, when it is not very hot, and the water is already pleasant. The most unsuccessful month is August, because the heat does not allow to take a break, and prices are tended to significant growth.
