Marino
Italy, officially the Italian Republic or Repubblica Italiana, is a Southern European country comprising of the Po River valley, the Italian Peninsula and the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. It is shaped like a boot and for this reason Italians commonly call it lo Stivale, the boot or, due to its prevalent peninsular geographical nature, la Penisola, the Peninsula.
Inhabitants of Italy are referred to as Italians. Their official language is Standard Italian, descendant of Tuscan dialect and a direct descendant of Latin. The word Italy is derived from the Homeric Aeolic word which means bull. Italy is subject to highly diverse weather conditions in autumn, winter, and spring. The country has the fifth-highest population density in Europe at 193 persons per square kilometer. Today, despite regional variations in the form of accents and vowel emphasis, Italian is fully comprehensible to most throughout the country.
Marino is a small city and commune in Lazio, on the Alban Hills, Italy, about 20 kilometers south east of Rome. It includes smaller locales including Frattocchie, Santa Maria delle Mole, and Due Santi. The city is bounded by other communes Castel Gandolfo, Albano Laziale, Rocca di Papa, Grottaferrata and Ciampino. The Grape Festival is very famous in the surrounding because, for about one hour, some fountains give wine instead of water.
