I'm trying to learn Italian for school. However, I'm non molto buon.
Very cool my friend. I almost went to Italy this last november and december, but alas i became sick and lost the chance. Now i hope to return for the winter olympics in 2006 in Torino. I belive thats how its spelled at least in english. My parents have been to Italy many times and love it. They want to move there eventually i think and i would love to spend time there. They love the people and the setting. We actually root for the italians during the olympics as long as its not against an american, lol. We still have our pride. Though again welcome to our site its great to see you here.

TST sorry but I can not understand
I like to tell more about Narnia like Italian town
*************************************
Although "The Chronicles of Narnia" developed from the fancies of C. S. Lewis, curiously some parts find their roots in Italy and Italian culture.
Lewis knew the history of Italian culture quite deeply. His position as a Fellow at Oxford and later as a Professor at Cambridge gave him the opportunity to study classical literature and Latin poets such as Livy, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger and Pliny the Elder. When Lewis, or Jack as he was called as a child, was young his teacher, Kirkpatrick read many classic with him and later said that, "Lewis read more classic books than any other boy that I taught."
Lewis became very proficient in Latin, carrying on a correspondence in that language with don Calabria, an Italian priest from 1947 until 1954. These letters were eventually translated by Luciano Squizzato and entitled "Una Gioia Insolita.?"
From between the ages of 12 to about 22, Lewis read many classic Latin writers. According to Paul Ford?s Companion to Narnia, Lewis?s first successes at Oxford were in the classics and ancient history, it is quite possible that he came across at least seven references to Narnia in Latin literature. "Four references are found in Livy's History (10:10, 27:9,27:50, and 29:15)... ... Tacitus's Annals (3:9).... Pliny the Elder's comment in Natural History about its unusual weather (it became drier in the rainy season).... Pliny the Younger's letter to his mother-in-law, in which he mentions the excellence of the accommodations of her villa at Narnia, especially its beautiful baths. Of all of these references, Lewis mentions only Pliny the Younger, in a letter to Arthur Greeves (They Stand Together, Macmillan, Collins, 1979, p. 171)."
The name, Narnia, that Lewis bestowed upon his land of talking beasts, speaking streams and Aslan the lion was most likely taken from his readings of classical writers who introduced the town of Narnia to him as the last defense of Roma on the Flaminia road. This idea was lent even more credence when one of Lewis's biographers, Walter Hooper, discussed a map of Italy from "Murrey's Small Classical Atlas" that had once belonged to Lewis. On the map Lewis had underlined several towns; one of them is Narnia.
Narnia is now named NARNI and is very close to Rome.

hmm, i'm not sure about that really. You might be able to find literature classes that are interested in the world of Narnia? Thats the best i can guess, but finding those you would have to ask people that are in classes like that now, and it would most likely be a high school class and they would have to get the teacher to want to be apart of it. Though I think something like that would be fun for some teachers. I Know some teachers would definantly like to do something like that.

Me I am from California. So what i would do is hmm, look up high schools that are there. Let me see here. http://www.clovisusd.k12.ca.us/chs/ Now I would find sites like this and search for english teachers. Then there are ways you can usually contact those teachers if they would like to do that with your school in the future or not. Its always worth a try. By the way thats my old high school, lol.
