Hi, I have taken the test and have spotted some errors and inaccuracies: #4: this is wrong, as there are regions in Italy where other languages are spoken together with Italian (and its dialects): for example French in Valle d'Aosta, German in Trentino Alto-Adige (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Italy). You meant maybe the official language, but it's very important to specify it, otherwise your question is wrong. #5: Italians use also greeting words, of course, so this question is wrong as well because there are two possible answers. (and btw, in some Italian regions people kiss three times, not twice) #11: this is also wrong because there are two possible answers: Vatican city is in fact also a country (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_City). #18: in Italy Andrea is certainly more diffused as a male name, but it may also be a female name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea). #22: you didn't specify the license of this image. #23 and #24: I honestly don't like these clichés: there may be Italians that do eat cheese for breakfast and take cappuccino in the afternoon! I mean these are not facts, but just "tendencies". It would have been better to say "Which of these things is unusual in Italy?" #25: this is simply meaningless. What do you mean with "most important"? Most used? Which is your source? If you mean that there are beautiful things in Italy, well there are also many other beautiful things in other countries! #30: This is also wrong. Did you mean active volcanoes? In this case they are only 2 (Etna and Stromboli). Otherwise, the list is way longer... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volcanoes_in_Italy). Lastly, I would suggest you to check your English, as there are many mistakes that can prevent people from understanding the quiz. Cheers!

#18 the question is - Find a woman’s Italian name. WOMAN’S , there is no question to find a name unisex .

#23,24 you can call it in different way but the fact remains the fact - Italian don’t eat cheese for breakfast and it’s really strange for them if someone does . Sure , we always can meet an exception . .

About cappuccino, if a person ask a cappuccino after 13-14 , it also a distintive sign that he is a foreign person . Because Italian drink cappuccino only for breakfast . So , if you will buy a cappuccino after a lunch you may get a question - where are you from ? . And there is nothing bad .. it’s just cultural things ..

#25 the question is - The most “important” or widely used word in italy ? . The word important signed with “....” for irony , then the question continue to clarify by saying - widely used . The word - bello , which means beautiful , it really used in many daily life’s sentences . So , for me as for stranger who live in italy it was very singable .
