? My impressions of Italy are football, splendid Roman Empire, cappuccino culture, pizza, handmade leather goods, Renaissance, papal Catholicism and passionate Latin culture. ...

? Make up history and explore its past life before going: Italy, where Rome is located, is the birthplace of western civilization. Today's western civilization is based on Greek civilization and Roman civilization. Without Rome, Greek civilization could only develop in Greece. Therefore, Rome has played a decisive role in western history and even in world history. The history of Italy is extremely complicated, which is not so much the history of one country as the collection of several small countries. /kloc-after the collapse of the western Roman empire more than 500 years ago, this land was divided into many small countries in 1400 years. It was not until 140 years ago that the framework of today's risorgimento state was constructed under the impetus of General garibaldi, the pioneer of the Carbon Party, and King Emmanuel II of Sardinia.

? Let's talk about Italy's former life-Roman Empire: As the saying goes, Rome was not built in a day. Legend has it that Rome was founded by twins romulus and Lemos. The brothers' father was born to Mars and Sylvia, a beautiful woman. Mars, the god of war, worried that the children would be punished by Jupiter, put the two children in a basket and drifted down the Tver River, the mother river of Rome, and was rescued and adopted by a female wolf. So now the symbol of Rome is a female wolf and two baby boys who are nursing.

? With the passage of time, Rome became stronger in the Mediterranean, and at this time, there were three Punic wars in Tunisia for regional leadership with the then Mediterranean power Carthage. Finally, the Carthaginian empire was destroyed and the hegemony of the Mediterranean region was realized. There are many touching stories, such as the story of Hannibal, the one-eyed hero of Carthage, who led the army across the Alps and attacked Rome for a long time, almost capturing Rome. This incident later became an example of Napoleon's invasion of Italy over the Alps. Scipio, the Roman general, tricked Carthage into giving up his weapons and then continued to break the contract and attack the city. The citizens of Carthage were outraged and defended the city with stones and sticks for three years with their bare hands, and finally died heroically. The country perished, and Carthage was completely in ruins. This land is full of resentment, and this country has disappeared forever.

? Rome's most glorious era has arrived! During the reign of Julius Caesar, Antony and Octavian, Rome entered its heyday. At that time, Rome ruled almost the whole of Europe and even most of the Mediterranean region, occupying the present Britain and the Rhine River basin in the north, Spain and Portugal in the west, Asia Minor in the east, North Africa and Egypt in the south. During this period, the beautiful story is the love story between Caesar and Cleopatra, Queen of Cleopatra. Their love was attacked by neighboring countries and destroyed by the powerful Caesar one by one, leaving his most famous three sentences: "I have been here, I have seen it, I have conquered it!" " "

? Then an important figure was Constantine the Great, who declared Christianity as the state religion of Rome. Since then, Christian culture has officially become the cultural and artistic foundation of the West. He also moved the capital of the Roman Empire to the beautiful port city of Byzantium, which was very prosperous during the Greek period, and renamed it Constantinople. Located in Istanbul, the present capital of Turkey. Many years later, the Roman Empire was divided into two halves, and East Rome and West Rome became strangers, interpreting their different histories.

? Since then, West Rome has been invaded by foreigners from the north. In 476 AD, West Rome perished and East Rome continued to stand. Christian culture flourished and created a unique Byzantine culture. It was finally invaded by the Ottoman Empire and died in 1453. After 2000 years of history, the Roman Empire disappeared from this world forever. Europe entered the dark Middle Ages. ...

? After that, the Italian peninsula was divided into several cities to help the country. For example, medici family holds real power in Florence. During the Renaissance, this family sponsored a large number of Renaissance representatives such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. It can be said that without medici family, there would be no Renaissance. By 140 years ago, with the efforts of Charcoal Party, General garibaldi and Emmanuel II of Sardinia, the Italian Kingdom was born.

? Italy was a victorious country in World War I and a defeated country in World War II. Mussolini, the notorious fascist in World War II, was finally hanged.

? 1946, through a referendum, Italian nationals chose the royal family headed by the king to be exiled abroad. 1948 created a unified Italian government. After World War II, the economy developed rapidly, becoming one of the most developed countries in the world and entering the "Group of Seven" in the world.
