italia in miniatura








yesterday Maddy Gus and I went to Italia in Miniatura with three other families from school. It's a theme park by the sea with a football field-sized Italy. This model you can walk through has representations of many of the features of Italy from the Alps to the islands of Sicily and Sardegna, to churches and other famous buildings and monuments from all the regions of Italy. Besides Mini-Italy, there are other rides and attractions, including a gondola ride through a (slightly less) mini Venice.
