So, I'm currently procrastinating my homework.  And I've been learning random and interesting facts about Italy since I've been here, and it has lead me to google some more tidbits about Italy.

3. The average Italian eats about 55 pounds of pasta a year.  
4. Italy has a low birth rate, because family values are changing in Italy.
5. 98% of Italians in Italy are Roman Catholics.  
6. The story of Pinocchio was written by Carlo Collodi, a Florentine.
7. The average Italian eats about 1/2 pound of bread a day.

9. Eyeglasses are an Italian invention.
10. The average Italian drinks about 26 gallons of wine a year.
11. Italy imports over 75% of its energy.
