Italy

A water way in Italy

One day I would love to visit Italy. Part of my family originated from Sicily and Italian food has held a big part in my life. I have always been inspired about how my grandmother can cook so much and still have a passion for it. My favorite food is made by her. I like Raviolis and meatballs. Her raviolis are famous throughout my family. Every Christmas dinner we have them for dinner. It is fun to make them and they are so good to eat. The recipe is 15 oz of ricotta cheese, 2 pinches of salt, 1 1/2 cups of flour, a little flour on board, and then roll out. I would love to try raviolis in Italy and many other types of Italian food.

Houses on a mountain in Italy

I would also like to learn about Italy’s history and visit famous monuments. I have always been interested in Italy’s history and wanted to see the famous monuments that so many people talk about. It would be so cool to see the leaning tower of Pisa and the Coliseum. It would be interesting to hear about the history of these ancient structures from the locals.

I would also love to see the beautiful beaches and mountains. I would want to see if the Mediterranean Sea is different to swim in than the oceans that I have been to in other places.   I love beaches and would love to visit many around the world. Italy seems like a perfect vacation for relaxation and reconnecting with my families roots. I hope one day to be able to experience it.
