Speed, power, and beauty. Almost everyone loves Ferraris, but do you know the history of the Ferrari?

Tired of the boring common holidays of sunbathing, swimming and sightseeing? Then jump onto the wild side of life by jumping into the African Safari in the Parco Natura Viva in Italy. Located in the provence of Verona, this attraction park is unique and fun for all age groups.

You can take a trip through the Fauna park and see some of the animals by walking or you can hop into a car and drive through the African Safari trail by car, giving you a chance to see some of the wilder animals up close. For those who are interested in history and animals there is an extinction park where you can see some life sized replicas of animals from the past, discover their habits and more. In fact, some more recently extinct animals are also included in this park.

Have you ever seen the film or read the book Gulliver's Travels?Would you like to experience the similar feeling of being the 'Giant' somewhere? Then look no further! Here in Rimini in Italy there is just the thing... A Miniature Italy attraction park!! That's right, you can experience some of the famous landscapes and buildings of Italy on a much smaller scale and all in one place!

And not only does this fantastic park have other things to see such as a science fun fair and some lovely places to eat. It is also relatively near to the theme park Mirabilandia in case you are looking for a little more thrill after this, or even in case you would like to relax here in the minature park after a day at Mirabilandia.

If you are a lover of classic Italian drinks then you will definitely have heard of Grappa.

It is a drink that is traditionally made from the discarded grape seeds, stalks and stems from winemaking and it has been around since the middle ages.

Italians traditionally like to sip at Grappa after meals to help in the digestion of the food and also some add a little to their expresso to give it an extra kick.

Grappa has previously been considered an acquired taste but it is now becoming popular all around the world with distilleries opening up in different countries as they try to make this classic Italian beverage.

If you have never tasted Grappa then why not try some when you are next on a holiday in Italy? It is a firey drink, perfect for warming you up on a cold night, and you do not have to rush it down, instead you can take it slowly and savour the taste as this is the correct way to drink grappa, swirling it in the glass and slowly raising it to the nose to smell it before sipping it slowly.
