Trip to Italy- Alexei

Slide 1: Hello, I am going to travel to Italy. I want to go to Finland, but I will do it later. Today I am planning a trip.

Slide 2: I dream of eating real Italian spaghetti carbonara. I should walk near to the Colosseum. I should cycle along the streets of Rome

Slide 3: I think, Rimini will be the first city of my trip. I want to visit Italy in miniature in the city`s park. Here I can see a lot of Italy`s architectural miracles. I think we will not spend a lot of time in Rimini. Possibly I will go to the sea and just walk on the shore. It will be good to see the city in the evening.

Slide 4: I have a route, which I am doing in Google Map. It`s so convenient. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=ru&geocode=&q=Italy&ie=UTF8&z=5

Slide 5: Rimini has a lot of historical places, like a square where Cesar made a speech. (49 B.C.) I should see it.

Slide 6: Next place can be Tivoli. Here we can see Adrian`s villa. It`s the residence of the emperor. It was built in 118-134 A.D.

Slide 7: After Tivoli we will go to Rome. Here I should see: the Colosseo, the Pantheon, the Villa Borghese, the Vatican City, the Basilica of Saint Peter.

Slide 8: The Colosseo`s building was completed in 80 A.D. For a long time the Coliseum was the main place of entertainment spectacles, like a combat of gladiators, the beast`s hunting, the naval battles.

Slide 9: The Pantheon (the temple of all gods) it`s a monument of architecture, it was built in the II century.

Slide 10: The Villa Borghese has the zoo and the racecourse.

Slide 11: The Vatican is the smallest state in the world.

Slide 12: The Basilica of Saint Peter is the largest Christian church in the world.
