Italy, a peninsula shaped like a boot, is home to basins of the most diverse forms. Just think of the heart shape of Lake Scanno, or the anthropomorphic shape of Lake Maggiore, or the crescent shape of Lake Minisini.
The only three active volcanoes in Europe, Etna, Stromboli and Vesuvius, are all in southern Italy. Etna is also the most active volcano in the world. It has been in almost continuous eruption for the past 3,500 years and has spewed lava on a daily basis since 1999.
In Italy there are well over 140 types of pasta! Some varieties are produced only at a regional level, whereas others, although they are produced all over Italy, are known with a different name from region to region.
Staying on the topic of food, another curiosity is about Nutella: Italy is the place where it was born. It all began in Cuneo in 1964 where Ferrero, a famous Italian company, starting from previous experiments on a cream called Supercrema, ended up giving rise to the sweet and delicious Nutella!
