Bante Theo horror Garden II a theme park made of rides that require your own kinetic energy to operate the necropolis of bandia Las Monastery the free wine Fountain of well I’m personally excited because today we cover the country where one quarter of my Heritage comes from Italia

There is no such thing as a single type of Italian people from cilia would almost need a translator to understand people in vetto Napoli looks incredibly different from Milano and people from South Tyro are like uh but for what it’s worth Italy has definitely made its Mark and today we jump

In it’s time to learn geography no hey everybody I’m your host barbs derived from my last name Barb which translates to beard man I’m serious hey laugh all you want but that just means I might be related to cpio Africanus barbatus the guy who defeated Hannibal in I think the

Second pic War so ha I got victory in my blood now I’m probably related to some ancient guy that sold barley or something barley that was eaten by cpio africanos barbatus who defeated Hannibal so yes I still got it I basically defeated Hannibal but where was Hannibal defeated let’s find out in

In Italy it’s all about tutano Aroma first of all Italy is that boot-shaped country kicking two deflated soccer balls located in Europe at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea bordered by France Switzerland Austria and Slovenia in the north and two micro states are completely engulfed within Italy the

Vatican City and San Marino which is like the easiest country to sneak into like seriously there’s a Japanese restaurant and a sports store next to the entrance with no guards with two this makes Italy the country with the most other countries enclaved inside of it South Africa was so close with

Swasiland but then Mozambique had to exist oh and there was that time Regio tried to secede from Italy back in the’ 70s which almost made it three but that’s a whole other story just look it up the country is divided into 20 regions with the capital Rome five of

The regions have special autonomous status Sardinia Sicily tantino Alto or suo otherwise known as South Tyro yosta Valley and fi venetsia Julia the country’s largest cities are of course the capital of Rome then Milano and Napoli with the busiest airports being Rome Leonardo da Vinci fumino Milan malpensa and Bergamo kavagi

International airports in addition to the two largest Islands cilia and sardia the country owns over 350 islands off its Coast finally there’s that land dispute with France over the summit of mon Blanc and a small little 2 and2 km long Enclave in Switzerland called cion ditalia which is kind of like a special

Spot exempt from the EU value added tax Zone which makes sense because it has Italy’s largest casino pH Italy you got some complication mantics going on funny thing is modern Italy once even tried to take a stab at colonialism in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries with areas

Stretching from the the Balkans Northern Africa and the Horn of Africa including a short kind of occupation of Ethiopia but it didn’t last that long cuz the Ethiopians fought back relentlessly and to this day it’s back to the boot with two deflated soccer balls wow guys I’ll convert metric for you but I

Call it soccer okay the Canadians South Africans Australians kiwis Japanese and parts of Ireland and the Philippines and papa new guini all agree with me okay it’s not just Americans that call it soccer okay good luck with that now this is the part where I typically go down

The list of Noble sites found in Italy however the problem is there are literally too many I’m not even joking Italy has more Heritage sites than any other country in the world at over 50 we all know about the big guys so I’m not going to mention most of them instead

Through my extensive research here are some obscure lesser known yet equally fascinating spots worthy of noting the dining table of bante the bomarzo horror Garden II a theme park made of rids that require your own kinetic energy to operate the necropolis of bandia Lasara Monastery the free wine Fountain of

Camino D santomaso let that just sink in free wine the relics of Jesus’s Apostle St Thomas the geothermal waterfalls of Tuscany the sunken city of Bia the town of santagata De goti the sulfuric fields of PSU that Fortress built by that crazy guy urbania mummies The cusino Sword and

The stone the nine layer Maze of villa pisani the road of 52 tunnels the pyramid zone of Castello the Encantado heads carved by a crazy guy there’s a lot of monuments made by crazy people and of wow wow of course way too many castles fortresses churches monasteries museums

And ancient sites to list but you get the point now let’s blast off like a volcano which Italy has into the next segment shall we now we all know that Italy is insanely beautiful in so many areas everybody wants to see it I mean even Mr and Mrs information went there on their

Honeymoon you’re welcome first of all Italy’s beauty comes at a cost the country lies just above the convergence of the Eurasian and African plates in the Mediterranean but also on the appenine or aanin thrust fault line that smashes into Western Europe and that’s how the Alps were formed basically the

Alps make like a barrier in the north with the aini mountains running along the entire length of the country as like a Scoopy spine until it technically ends in the island of cilia because Italy’s Mountain are volcanic fault formed it has created some amazing natural formations like the dolti Rocks the

Steep sides of Lake Gada the largest lake in Italy the Oma valleys the undulating Hills of Tuscany this also means that Italy is kind of split in half East and West with a major Lush Basin locked in the north that receives an abundance of fresh snowcap water melt

Creating Rivers like the longest one the Po River located in the Appley named po valley this Valley extends about 650 km 400 Mi all the way from the French border to the Adriatic Sea which ends at a little city you may have heard of called venetsia or Venice this also

Means that Italy is a volcanic country to this day there are about 30 volcanoes three known active ones Etna stroli and the famous visious making it the most densely populated and potentially deadly volcanic region in the world it’s like yeah I know I could die but oh man the

Pizza here is totally worth it speaking of which about a quarter of the land is aable allowing them to grow lots of food I’m sure you are fully aware of the typical Italian dishes however each region kind of specializes in a certain cuisine in the north you have foods like

Penta noi white truffles lagura has great pesto and in South spiral you have Germanic inspired dishes like noodle dumplings and strudel in the center you have things like lasagna boar artichokes lamb steak gelato pasta which comes in over 600 variations indisputably the best wine is in Toscana the south is the

Pizza Kingdom and Napoli is like the capital Sardinia is known for those cool cheese Fritter dumpling things it wow is a mild Mediterranean climate only snowing in the north and high altitude areas now despite deforestation and pollution being an issue and Venice flooding almost every year now Italy is

Actually the most fauna biodiverse country in Europe with over 57,000 species recorded that’s about a third of all European fauna about 4,800 are endemic like the Sardinian Red Deer the Italian cave salamander the Alpine Marmet Marin brown bear the crested porcupine and the national animal the Italian Wolf otherwise as the eighth

Largest nominal GDP in the world and the eighth largest exporter Italy’s economy is heavily driven off of industry and production specifically in luxury items major world-renowned companies like Fiat Lamborghini Ferrari Maserati ducatti perelli armanian and Versace DOL and gabana Gucci and Prada are key players in keeping Italy afloat in many ways

Kind of like a sense of class that’s almost expected with being Italian no matter how intense things may get you don’t just walk in here with your shoes unpolished which brings us to now being Italian we’ve all heard the stereotypes loud passionate hand gesturing bad driving temperate sensitive clean freaks that never follow

The rules and as offensive as that may sound it’s kind of based off of truth but with good reasoning we’ll explain in a bit but first Italy has about 61 million people in their country and they are the third most populous country in the EU after the whole brex thing and

The sixth in all of Europe getting the exact ethnic makeup in Italy is a little difficult because Italy is a lot more diverse than you would think about 92% of the country identifies as ethnically Italian although keep in mind that’s kind of a broad term considering how many different types and shades of

Italian there are but nonetheless Italian whereas about 2% are Romanian 1% North African and the rest of the country is made up of a slew of global people groups everything from Albanian arrian Chinese and ukrainians they also use the euro the type-c plug outlet and

They drive on the right side of the road now when it comes to Italy it basically comes down to two things North and South Southerners like to jokingly call Northerners Penton based off of the penta that they eat and likewise Northerners like to call Southerners terroni which I actually don’t even know

Where that’s based off of my research kind of ended there if you know type it in the comments basically the north is like where all the financial districts and stereotypical uppity preppy people live whereas the south is kind of like where The Rustic tough people live plus

You know the south is kind of like Mafia territory oh come on everybody already knows it you have the Costa norra in cilia dretta in Calabria the kamora in CIA and the sakra Corona Unita in Puglia don’t worry though if you visit as a tourist you should be fine it’s not much

Of a big deal anymore I mean unless you start a mob War by yourself nothing will pretty much happen so no starting Mob Wars okay got it a there are so many different dialects and subgroups like South tyru mostly speaks German kind of AA Valley speaks French sort of no but

Seriously the standard Italian language spoken and taught today is based off of the Florentine version of Tuscan Italian which is kind of like an intermediate between the Gallow romance dialects of the North and the Italo Dalmatian dialects of the South this all happened because prior to Ian unification the

Country was split between multiple kingdoms and States each with their own semi Latin based language which made communication a little bit of a challenge for example in standard Italian you might say but in Sicilian in standard but in Venetian in standard foretta in Lombard Peru this is one of the reasons why

Italians attribute the creation of the famous Italian hand gestures people would travel barely 50 km and find themselves in a hard to understand dialect region so essentially they had to kind of get their point across fast there’s a saying that Italians have or the art of arranging which

Translates to something like the art of figuring it out on your own when words fail hands succeed there’s no specific code but some generally accepted gestures include things like speaking of societal background for we don’t have enough time to explain the entire history of Italy but in the

Quickest way I can put it the truskin Romans Christianity ridiculous amount of separate kingdoms and feudal States Barbarian invasions byzantines medieval kingdoms Renaissance Napoleonic invasions Sardinia Piedmont unifies Italy after three Independence Wars or four depending on who you ask Mass immigration to other countries begins World War I fascism World War I

Resistance movement after War economic boom 2008 crisis which brings us here today basically the epicenter of ancient was here hence the capital being named Rome speaking of which even though the Italian monarchy ended long ago there are still two descendants that still exist today acting as air apparance the

Catholic church has played a major role in Italy even to this day almost every single town has at least one church about 88% of the country identifies as Catholic however only a third say they are active practitioners on a weekly basis and one of the reasons why Italy

Has made such a universal Mark is partially because between the late 1800s and early 1900s Italy experienced a mass immigration in which over the years around 25 million left this is considered the largest Mass migration of contemporary times suddenly you have new communities of Italians all over the

World in places like Brazil Argentina the US UK and France oh wow this video is running long and I didn’t even get to talk about the deadly ccho Florentino game of Florence or or the Santa Maria de grazi snake Festival Opera poopi and Cilia so many cool things but we got to

Move on some notable people either from Italy or of Italian descent might include people like cisero Michelangelo Leonardo devinci Dante aliger Nicolo makavelli Donatello kajio Galileo galile Christopher Columbus Americo vispi Marco Polo Nicolo Paganini jeppi garali Luigi pandelo Federico felini luano Parvati Andrea belli Alberto Eko Sophia Lauren Valentino Rossi Roberto bajio Monica

Beluchi Sylvio Berlusconi Enzo Ferrari Donatella Versace Giorgio Armani mainstream American artist of Italian descent might include so many stars like Frank Sinatra Robert dairo alpacino Sylvester Salone Leonardo DiCaprio Steve bshi Quenton tartino Ariana Grande Lady Gaga even Nicholas Cage has some italion in him again Italian people have such a

Strong and solid history and culture but what does the rest of the world think of them and what do they think about their neighbors well that brings us To Italy is a really great guy once you get to know him but that’s just the thing you got to warm up to them Al Dente style first of all France is like their best fremy they smile at each other but secretly they’re always trying to compete with who has the highest class

And elegance they also hate the fact that France has Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa nonetheless with historical bumps like World War II they still cooperate well today Argentina is like their adoptive daughter that they sent to Spanish boarding school but they still fiercely refuse to make friends with

Their neighbors as mentioned in the Argentina video the majority and largest demographic of people in Argentina have Italian Heritage and they love doing business with Italy Malta and San Marino are kind of seen as like their little sons that they love helping out even though San Marino is like way older than

The modern unified state of Italy but that’s besides the point they think it’s cute how Malta speaks their own language that kind of incorporates Italian words and San Marino is like their good luck charm who more or less has always been peaceful and drama-free since the 4th

Century of course the Vatican is like a unique player that they pay their respects to but will not give the opportunity to raise another Empire and hence they keep them confined to The Basilica grounds in terms of their best friends though literally every Italian I talked to has said the exact same two

Countries Greece and Spain as mentioned in the Greece episode they live by the unaa unar rule one face One race these three countries make the Trinity of the Mediterranean you know it’s going to be a good time when you put a Spaniard and a Greek and Italian in the same room

Nothing can stop them they own the Seas they trade they share stories they drink together they marry the crown out of each other in conclusion for centuries Italy has been a beacon of art literature fashion architecture history religion Cuisine traditions and landmarks to the rest of the world and

Personally I’m proud to be a part of it but most importantly I’m proud that my barley selling bearded ancestors basically killed Hannibal and saved the universe and I get to take like at least 40% of their credit so basically I Sav the universe totally true not made up

100% fact stay tuned the Ivory Coast is coming up next for for
