The first volume of the new series of the Two Sisters Publishing House: a guide to the most famous icons of Italian culture.

Why is Italy for the whole world and Italy for us?
How did it happen that all roads lead to Rome?
Does pizza have a queen?
Why is the tower of Pisa leaning?
Is it true that Italians ride wasps?

This book is a journey through the culture of Italy - the high and the most popular. A story full of anecdotes and interesting facts about a country that - although we know so much about it - can surprise you.

Mamma mia is the first volume of the "World for the Inquisitive" series. It presents the culture of different countries: it tells about places, characters, monuments, dishes and concepts that almost everyone has heard about, but few really know the stories behind them - as well as less known ones that are worth exploring.
