The origin of wine production, which has become a whole with Italian culture, goes back to ancient times. Today, the country, which has mainly vineyards in Tuscany and Sicily, is among the best wines of the country, such as Barolo, Brunello and Chianti, while it is often in competition with France as the world's largest wine production region. Depending on the wine production in the country, vineyards and wine tasting trips are a serious source of income, while there are many opportunities for those who want to become a student and pursue a career in winemaking in Italy. The wine, which was planned to flow from the Virgin Mary fountain during the grape festival in the country's Alban Region in 2008, got mixed into the city's water supply due to a technical malfunction and for a day, wine flowed from all houses instead of water.
Born in Pisa, Italy in the 1500s, the astronomer, physicist, mathematician and philosopher Galileo is known today as the father of observational astronomy and the founder of modern physics. In his lifetime, he was excommunicated by the Catholic Church by saying that the world was spinning contrary to the Bible, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and his books remained on the ban list until 1978. The middle finger of his right hand, detached from his body, which was moved from one place to another after his death, is today exhibited at the Galileo Museum of Science and History in Florence.
Among the interesting information about Italy, the place of Poveglia, known as the haunted island, is another one. In Poveglia, a small island between Venice and Lido, thousands of corpses were taken to the island and burned during the plague disease in Italy in 1576. At the same time, more than 150 thousand elderly, children and young people were sent to the island and left to die because of plague. It is among the rumors that a doctor in the mental hospital built on the island in the 1990s killed his patients with the mad torture and his body was found hanging in the bell tower and burned. Venetian fishermen in the area often talk about the fairies roaming the island at night and the bells they hear despite the lack of a bell tower. Let us point out that the Italian government is prohibited from entering the island.
There are many different theories about this. (Such as transporting those who died after the plague by gondolas, a young gondolier committing suicide on his gondola because he could not reunite with the woman he loved).
