Many stamps from Italy have a picture of a woman on them whom I think is supposed to depict Italy as a person. It could be she wears the female equivalent of a toga. And a crown.
2 :
Wow...as an Italian its hard to say. I guess just use something with their flag which is Green, White, and Red. But it's funny cause the Italian National team in sports and olympics uses the color Blue. Known as the Azzuri's...Blue is representative for the Mediterranean sea. You could just get a plain old t-shirt and right BELLA! or BELLISIMA! on the front! Bella means beautiful and Bellissima means beautiful girl!!
3 :
Get her to wear the National futbal squad uniform! Or if not, Then get her to wear a green shirt, white shorts and red sox, to represent the flag and carry an 'Azzuri' soccer ball :)?
4 :
Just dress with a baguette in your hand, a beret, scarf( either a regular white scarf or hanker scarf) corduroy.

Should Italy export schools of soccer to teach the know-how of the game

Should Italy export schools of soccer to teach the know-how of the game ?
expecially in france I mean, there is an urgent need of those schools. Some players could misunderstand soccer and wrestling. @lachieboy : what about Malouda's dive against Italy in the final ? shamefull, no?

Just because Italy won the world cup is no reason to think that you are soccer gods. It took you 93 minutes to score against Australia, and you got that penalty from a dive! So before you talk about how France think soccer is wrestling, remember that any Aussie would tell you that the Italian soccer team should represent Italy at the Olympics for Diving. my 2 cents. Apologies to anyone who was offended.
2 :
no...coz all italians are divers...
3 :
come down to earth....Italy didn't beat Australia in the world cup ..the penalty that was given to them ...the one gol that won the game was given to them by the refereeeeeeeeeeeeeee...you didn't deserve to be the champs...Australia play better than Italy and you know that,,,,
4 :
Italy is the world cup winner,but that doesn't make them totally the best when it comes to football.Brazil is still the number one.So I guess,Brazil should export schools of football to teach the know-how of the game.
5 :
No thnx.We wanna play soccer with its rules and ethics.We dont wanna fix matches.We like our style.So keep ur schoold full of cheaters and divers in Rome.
6 :
gr8!!! first u try to set up tht school with proper rules n regulations, n thn later talk abt it!
7 :
yes they should. Italy is the best team in Europ they won 4 times and They r the 1st european to win the World cup.
8 :
France already has a good education system, no need to export Italian football - create too homogenous style of football if exported which is boring.
9 :
yeah, the headbutting is for WWE wrestling. zidane, stop watching the fake wrestling shows too much! how could that guy forgetten what italian coaches try teach him in the recent past?? you new rookie students should start wearing azzurri shirts to learn italy soccer better!

Good idea. lol

Can you suggest me any good American school in Milan, Italy

Can you suggest me any good American school in Milan, Italy?
I'm 13 and we just migrated last year to Italy. I'm having a really hard time learning the language. The teachers at my school creeps me out and I don't have any friends there. I want to transfer to a school here in Milan where they speak English. Please help me :( everytime I think about my school, I feel like crying. I'm just really having a hard time there and my classmates are bullies. Plus, none of them speaks english so, I can't ask anyone for help. Not even the teachers! They try to understand me when I ask them something but they reply in Italian. I'm always like "excuse me, what?" :( Thank you.

Study abroad as a high school student

Study abroad as a high school student?
I plan on spending a semester of my senior year in a school in Italy. Though, i am not quite sure how to approach this quest of mine. For instance, what program would help me decide which school i could possibly attend? Or financially, how would i come up with the money to pay for it? And please do not say talk to your counselor at school, because this chance is only offered to mainly top students; which i am not. i just need some help X__X

Generally speaking, your school does not offer exchanges. You must apply through an outside organization. The top three are AFS, YFU and Rotary. Rotary is the cheapest, but most competitive. You don't need to be a "top" student, but a solid B average is necessary. You have to show that you can handle the academic work in another county. Once you apply for a program, you need to work with your school on your schedule to make sure you graduate on time. The program finds the school and host family. As to paying for it, some of the programs offer scholarships.

hi. i'm italian . you should attend an italian school. in italy there are many schools that we call liceo or technical school in italian schook you don't have to choose the subjects as in america you have to study that subjects of the school for example in liceo classico you have to study classics as greek , latin, maths, italian, philosophy maths ecttt if you want ask me something you'll contact me

Hi, I'm Italian and I'm trying to plan the same thing for the US, and I guess you're American. I'd like to spend my 4th High School year in the United States, and in order to do that I've asked my English teacher, who just gave me some sheets about AFS-Inercultura, an organization which is concerned about these programs. After some reading and some "investigations," I found out that doing programs with one of these organizations does NOT allow you to choose the exact area (the state, in my case) where you can stay, so you can end up in places you wouldn't like to stay. (For example, I'd like to go somewhere either on the East- or on the Westcoast, but with AFS, EF, STS, etc. I can't choose.) You may go to a place up in the mountains, far from everyone and everything, or in a bad place to study in. I can suggest you do what I have done until now. Try going to your local Italian Consulate or to the Embassy in Washington, DC and ask whether it's possible for you to get organized on your own. Then, if you have contacts here, get in touch with them and talk to them about this issue. Ask them to find for you a school and a family that can host you, and only at this point, if you are satisfied with the area, school, family, etc., you can apply for a visa at the Italian Embassy. Remember that in Italy most schools are public and free, so you only have to pay for your books and school stuff (notebooks, pens, etc.). Also, depending on what you are studying now, you ought to choose the school that best fits your subjects. I do not suggest you go to a Liceo Classico or Liceo Scientifico because they're very difficult, and classical subjects (Latin and ancient Greek, especially in Liceo Classico) are fundamental parts of their academic courses. If you want to go to one of these schools anyways, get fluent in spoken and written Italian, because it is the most important subject. I hope I gave you some useful tips. Also, we can get in touch if you want to.
