April 2014 Our Town: RIGNANO SULL’ARNO eTwinning project “Let’s grow up together” year 2 Class 3 A Rignano sull’Arno Primary school - Italy

Our Nation is Italy, it’s like a big boot. In Italy there are 20 regions, we live in Tuscany, near the city of Florence (about 30 km). Our area

Rignano sull'Arno is a municipality with about inhabitants.

RIGNANO SULL’ARNO Our village is surranded by the countryside and it lays on the hills, that are in the most of Tuscany. In our area cycling is very tiring because there are steep climbs and dizzy descents! If you have a walk in our countryside, you can see many trees: cypresses, oaks, long rows of vines and olive trees: we produce an excellent wine and a good oil. You should taste our bread with oil and you could, if adults, have a nice glass of red wine. During the walk you may meet many animals: pheasants, hares, foxes, porcupines, roes, deers and some wild boars.
