By Ewan Murray Italy: a nation steeped in football history. Four time-world champions and two-time European Championship winners, there is no doubting that Italy have produced some of the greatest footballers to ever grace the pitch. Their knack for producing exceptional managers is worthy of applause, too. However, Italians haven't always transferred their skills to English shores. The Premier League has boasted some impressive Azzurri stars but many of their elite have stayed put in Serie A.

Probably all three things,” he added. Last month, Tamberi pretended to hide springs in his shoes when h...

If you’re a regular visitor to Italy, you might have noticed the nations’ apparent reluctance to drink tap water. As we all try to cut down our waste, the statistic that each Italian consumes an average of 208 litres of bottled water every year is fairly stark. That finding, from market research firm CSA Research, also revealed that only 29.2 per cent of people in Italy drink tap water every day - and that nearly half (43.3 per cent) drink exclusively bottled water. It shows that Italy is the biggest consumer of bottled water in Europe and the second-biggest worldwide after Mexico, where tap w...
