Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Tell me, where in the world is Italy?

Answer: Southern Europe

Italy is located in the southern part of Europe. It shares land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia. The independent countries of San Marino and Vatican City are found within Italy. Such countries are known as enclaves.
2. Which sea borders Italy to the south?

Answer: Mediterranean Sea

Italy is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Ancient Romans had conquered almost all the lands on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea leading them to call the sea Mare Nostrum which means "Our Sea". The Mediterranean Sea contains within it many smaller seas. Among these, the Adriatic, Ionian, Ligurian, and Tyrrhenian touch the shores of Italy.
3. Quick, see, which colour's not on the flag?

Answer: Purple

The Italian flag has three vertical stripes. From left to right these are green, white, and red. According to some theories, the green represents the fertile hills and land, the white is for the Alps which are covered with snow and the red is a symbol of the blood shed by the soldiers during the Italian War of Independence.

Answer: Rome

Rome is the capital of Italy and one of the oldest continually inhabited cities of Europe. It has been the capital of the Roman kingdom and was one of the main centres of Western civilization. Its importance is noted in popular proverbs like "All roads lead to Rome" (meaning all things lead to the main activity just as all roads led to the capital city of Rome) and "Rome wasn't built in a day" (every significant achievement takes time and effort).

Paris is the capital of France, London of the United Kingdom and Prague of Czech Republic.
5. Tell me, which city's not in Italy?
