TRIP TO ITALY

ITALY

Last summer, I went to Italy with my classmates from Escola Pia. It was our last trip together so this trip became the best trip we have ever done. Italy is a peninsula which lies below Switzerland and Austria. Italy is a pretty different place from Olot. Italy used to be extremely crowded and Olot is only crowded on specific days. However, if I compare Italy with Barcelona, they are more similar.

In Italy we visited some museums like Academy Gallery in Florence. There, we saw a very important Michelangelo’s sculpture called David. However, we visited other interesting places like the colorful houses in Murano, Venice’s gondolas, Pisa’s tower, the Toscana and others. Casually, in Montecatini we met Johan Cruyff. He was inaugurating one of his shops in Italy.

The weather was really good because we went in June. Everyday was extremely sunny except the last day, which was quiet windy. The food was very good, too. Obviously, we ate everyday pasta and pizza. The hotel gave us only pasta and when we could go to restaurants we ate pizza. We didn’t have much dealing with the people from Italy but, for example, the shoppers and the hotel caretaker were really friendly with us.

The thing I like the most of Italy was Venice. Riding on a gondola is extremely romantic, beautiful and relaxing. However, the thing I like the least was the rather bad smell of the canals. Another thing I like a lot is Florence. We went shopping there and it was fantastic and crowded. It was an extremely beautiful trip, so I would to visit Italy again and I recommend it for everyone.
