What are Italian People like? 

Buon giorno!  My name is Mario and I live in Sicily, Italy. 

I have two brothers; one is named Salvatore, who is thirteen, and Alfonso, who is two.  I have two sisters Maria, who is eight and Caterina, who is two and she is Alfonso’s twin sister.  I am ten years old.

We love to cook - and eat!  We eat our main meal at midday, and it always has a pasta course.

The most popular meats that we eat are veal and pork. We also love to eat cheese. 

Some sports in my country are basketball, soccer, and Formula 1 racing.  The most popular sport is soccer. 

In January, the temperature is usually between 50 and 60 degrees, but it gets very hot in the summer, (up to 95 degrees) and that is when my family and friends love to go to the beaches.
