2 Read and learn more about Italy.
Did you know...
...what Italians are famous for?
Italians are famous not only for their art treasures, but also for their inventions and discoveries. Italian explorers Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci discovered the Americas, and another Italian merchant traveller, Marco Polo, was one of the first Europeans to explore the East.
Leonardo da Vinci was an artist and an inventor. His journals include a great number of inventions, both practical and impractical: musical instruments, flying machines, war machines and a submarine.
Alessandro Volta studied electricity and gave his name ‘Volt’ to a unit of electricity. Italians also invented many musical instruments, including the piano.
Another Italian invention that has conquered the world is pizza. There is a legend about how Margherita pizza got its name.
In 1889 the Italian King Umberto I and Queen Margherita decided to make a visit to Naples. The most famous pizza-maker in Naples, Raffaele Esposito, baked three pizzas for the Queen in the palace kitchen. The Queen preferred the pizza in the colours of the Italian flag: red (tomato), green (basil) and white (mozzarella). This kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Margherita pizza.
