In dialect, someone from Calabria would say 'amonindi' or someone speaking the Sicilian dialect would say 'ammonini'. They do say andiamo too - but the question is about speaking in dialect.

Answer: False

Muslim, Jewish, Protestant and other minorites are all recognised in Italy.

Answer: 1pm - 4pm

1pm - 4pm. It is a magnificent invention when you live there as you can retreat to your home and relax for awhile. But as a tourist, in some cities all the shops close and when you want to shop - it's impossible! Times may vary from region to region - but only by an hour or so.
11. Which of these countries does *NOT* border Italy in the north part?

Answer: Germany

It is very easy to eat lunch in France on the Monday, ski in Switzerland on the Tuesday and be home in bed in Italy on Wednesday night -- ahh the life I dream of!

Answer: Glass making

There are little places where you can watch them blowing glass - it's quite fascinating to watch. So put that on your itinerary too.
