Read the text and choose the correct answers to the questions.

Italy is a unique country in many ways. It has many beautiful cities, wonderful monuments and excellent food in every region. There is also another special thing about Italy. Inside Italy, there are two very small independent states, San Marino and The Vatican. These states are not in the Italian Republic.

San Marino is near the city of Rimini on the Adriatic coast in the Apennine Mountains. In many ways, it is very similar to Italy. The people speak Italian, they love watching and playing football and Italian food is an important part of life. But in other ways it is different. Citizens of San Marino live under different laws and pay lower taxes than Italians. A lot of the people there have a good life and a lot of money. The government is small and seems very good. The military force is also small. San Marino has the smallest population of the Council of Europe countries. The people there say their country is the oldest republic in the world. Its most famous monument is ‘The Three Towers of San Marino’ on Mount Titano.

The Vatican is one of the most famous places in the world but many people don’t know that it is also a state completely separate from Italy and Rome. It became an independent state in 1929. Only 900 people live in the Vatican and it is the smallest independent state in the world. It is also the only place in the world where Latin is the official language. There are Latin signs on shop windows! Of course, the Catholic Pope lives there and every Sunday he speaks to the people in St. Peter’s Square. But there is a big problem in the Vatican. Because of all the rich tourists, there are a lot of criminals too.

Italy is different from many other countries.

People who live in San Marino and the Vatican are technically Italian.
