While you're celebrating...

Italy:
What to eat… Pizza – Traditional Italian fare, stacked with tomato, cheese and the meat of your choice.
What to drink… ‘Limoncello’ – A liquor made of alcohol, lemon peels, and sugar. Each family has their own special recipe.
Music to download… ‘Nessun Dorma’ – Luciano Pavarotti
Post-match viewing… ‘Gladiator’ – See Ancient Rome in all it’s glory in the epic tale of Maximus. Are you not entertained?
Bedtime reading… ‘Calcio: A History Of Italian Football’ by John Foot – A thoroughly enjoyable trawl through the many characters and clashes that have made the history of the Italian game so unique.
