	14% missed Pisa? What other ''Leaning Tower of'' were they confusing it with?

	Most popular sport - are you sure that answer is still correct, in regard to recent events?

	The Ligurian Sea is home to many mystical beasts.

	The color scheme of the quiz is a nice touch.

	Drives in the middle would be more accurate! (although, I admit, legally speaking, incorrect)

	when you type in adriatic it also activates Mediterranean Sea for lowest point.

	@MovieDynamic: ???? It's spelled PISA. In Italian, the city is pronounced as PEE-SA. (Why English speakers pronounce it with a "z" sound is odd. It's spelled like the English name "Lisa"--which is pronounced as LEE-SA.)

	I remember a few years back taking one of the famous gondola rides at night while a full moon glittered beautifully off the canal waters, the gondolier's melodies floated flawlessly through the night's air, and the smells of scrumptious fresh pasta and pristine wines wafted all around me. Truly one of the most romantic places on this Earth. Yep, what a great trip to Epcot Center that was.

	I ran out of brainpower so I went for as many bonuses as I could. I got da Vinci, Vesuvius, Dante, Michelangelo, Romulus/Remus, Julius Caesar

	@JonnyWalker: Spelled it with a 'z' instead of an 's' and am hating myself for it

	Love these quizes - cheers - got bonus of Julius Caeser, The Tiber, the colloseum (spealt wrong) and Garibaldi - Thanks you Irish Leaving Cert history lol

	The Italian words for some of these answers should be acceptable (particularly the seas- I always knew it as the Mare Tirreno)

	@MovieDynamic http://cache.virtualtourist.com/1693323-Train-Pisa.jpg I don't think the train station misspells it's own name.

	Name a bordering country of Italy....ITALY.... needless to say i didnt do too well in this quiz. Its bad enough that THAT was my first thought but the fact that i actually wrote it in and waited for it to accept it....I also tried Materazzi for a bonus (2006 World Cup headbuttee)... It didnt work :(

	@JonnyWalker: While I am sure that most of the people who didn't get it were spelling errors, there are many other leaning towers in Italy, including some which lean more than the leaning tower of Pisa. Google the leaning towers of Bologna. for example.

	Thanks for this quiz which revealed I know more than I thought about Italy...@Movie Dynamic, with respect for the fact that you are so often right, this time, no, it is "Pisa".

	only 37% got Berlusconi?!

	Tarabas:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 13:20 GMT		1 point
	I understand that the guess "Repubblica italiana" as the official national name comes from Wikipedia. I am not at all sure that this is right. The Italian constitution says "Italy is a republic" etc. According to this line of thought, the USA should be the Federal Republic of the USA, and so on.

	Fun quiz... If it had only accepted the english names for everything I'd have gotten many less... I could only remember the italian names from italian class XD

	Upon viewing the answer to the Oldest Institute of Higher Learning, I immidiately thought "that's bologna!"

	You misspelled "Colosseum." "Coliseums" are stadia elsewhere, but the "Colosseum" in Rome was named that because it was a "colossus."

	Why did so few get Berlusconi?! He's one of the craziest men in office in the world.
