An era of parliamentary government came to a close in the early 1920s when Benito MUSSOLINI established a Fascist dictatorship. His alliance with Nazi Germany led to Italy's defeat in World War II. A democratic republic replaced the monarchy in 1946 and economic revival followed. Italy is a charter member of NATO and the European Economic Community (EEC). It has been at the forefront of European economic and political unification, joining the Economic and Monetary Union in 1999. Persistent problems include sluggish economic growth, high youth and female unemployment, organized crime, corruption, and economic disparities between southern Italy and the more prosperous north.

After its completion, spectacular 100-day celebrations were organized as part of the opening ceremony in 80 CE. Its name is believed to come from Emperor Nero's enormous statue of Colossus that stood close by. POINT OF INTEREST MENU TOURISM MENU MAIN MENU Fontana di Trevi Tradition has it that throwing a coin over your left shoulder into the fountain guarantees a swift return to the world's most beautiful city. Anita Ekberg's dip in it was immortalized in Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, and Italian actor Toto even sold it to an American, passing himself off as its owner. Earlier, Fontana di Trevi was the setting for the award-winning Three Coins in the Fountain motion picture, ensuring its popularity worldwide. Designed by Nicola Salvi for Pope Clemente XII, it was completed in the second half of the 18th Century. The statues in the center represent Neptune supported by Tritons on either side while rococo-style Poli Palace provides the perfect backdrop. POINT OF INTEREST MENU TOURISM MENU MAIN MENU Commissioned by Marcus Agrippa, restored by Domitian, and subsequently rebuilt by Hadrian (who added the dome), the Pantheon was turned into a church in the early 7th Century by Pope Boniface IV. The building's sole source of light is the opening at the dome's apex (the oculus); according to popular legend, this formed the base for the bronze pine cone that is now in the Vatican's Pigna courtyard, where it is used as a fountain. Many famous Italians are buried in the Pantheon, including Renaissance painter Raphael and King Vittorio Emanuele I Pantheon POINT OF INTEREST MENU TOURISM MENU MAIN MENU SOURCES 9 Pict 1 for people www.ask.com 10 Pict 2 for peolple People.howstuffwork.com 11 Population by gender www.geohive.com 12 Temperatures www.weather.com 13 Recent Event news.yahoo.com 14 Pict 1 for Recent Event news.yahoo.com 15 Pict 2 for Recent Event news.yahoo.com Hand Out Folder 16 Flight www.expedia.com Map www.infoplease.com 17 Point of Interest1 travel.yahoo.com 4 Exchange Rate www.google.com 18 Pict 1 for Pl1 travel.yahoo.com 5 Pict of Bill en.wikipedia.org 19 Pict 2 for PI1 travel.yahoo.com 6 Pict of Coin en.wikipedia.org 20 Point of Interest1 travel.yahoo.com 7 Pict of Chief 1 en.wikipedia.org 21 Pict 1 for PI2 travel.yahoo.com 8 Pict of Chief 2 www.ilgiornaledelmolise.it 22 Pict 2 for PI2 travel.yahoo.com 23 Point of Interest1 travel.yahoo.com 24 Pict 1 for PI3 travel.yahoo.com 25 Pict 2 for PI3 travel.yahoo.com 1 Flag, Capital, Imports, Exports, Type of Government, Chief of state, Language, Religion, Ethnic Groups, Total Population, Literacy, Bodies of Land, Bodies of Water, Natural Resources, Land Use, Climate, Background CIA World Fact book 2 Anthem 3 MAIN MENU
