Sesto San Giovanni
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.
Sesto San Giovanni is a town in Lombardy, Italy, part of the province of Milan.

Sesto San Giovanni has been known for a long time as the Stalingrad of Italy, because of the strong historical presence of Pci, the Italian communist party, which gave the city all its majors. In the 1990s, Sesto San Giovanni suffered an economical disaster and all the historical companies closed their offices in the city. The town is partially succeeded in reconverting its economy from producing steel to other activities.
