I find it easier to understand if written because, if you look carefully, many words are similar to English as English borrowed words from many languages.<br /><br />Ben fatto!

Ranney,<br /><br />I found some amazing facts about The Mysterious giant of Barletta on Wikipedia.<br /><br />The "Mysterious Giant of Barletta" is a large bronze statue of an Eastern Roman Emperor, located in Barletta, Italy. It is about three times the size of an average human. It is 16 feet 7 inches tall.<br />The statue was washed up on a shore after a Venetian ship sank in 1204. <br />No one knows the name of the emperor the staute is dedicated too.<br /><br />Did anybody else find some interesting facts about "The Mysterious Giant of Barletta" ?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956679572805293953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879184421580483050.post-22749770916515249872012-12-03T16:01:41.784-08:002012-12-03T16:01:41.784-08:00Dear Mrs. Ranney,

It is next to Austria, France, Slovenia, and Switzerland. It is a landform that is shaped like a boot. It is a peninsula that stretches into the Mediterranean Sea. A peninsula is a landform that is surrounded by water on three sides. Rome is the capital and largest city in Italy.<br /><br />One of the mountain ranges in Italy is called the Alps. The Alps formed Italy's northern border. Italy also has many valleys and plains. Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Mount Etna, one of the largest active volcanoes in the world.<br /><br />I hoped you liked our information.<br /><br />Grazie,<br />Charlotte and Alexandra<br />Charlotte and Alexandranoreply@blogger.com
