- How about a bit of Italian history? You could talk briefly of the fact that Italy used to be divided into a lot of states, all at war with each other (there are still a lot of castles in Italy, exactly because of that), until the unification in 1861. Or you could talk of how the language came into existence: the fact that Florentine dialect was taken as the national language (because of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy), and how every city, and every town, still have their own dialect nowadays (dialects which are often incomprehensible to people of other towns). Or you could talk of the great Italian scientists and inventors - see here fro a brief list of the most important names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy#Science Best of luck with your homework!
