Should accept Abyssinia as alternative for Ethiopia. It's what it was called at the time.

Agreed. It was Abyssinia in 1935 not Ethiopia.

Thank Goodness for Assassin's Creed. Most of what I know of Italy came from playing that game.

If you knew Langobards, you knew the common, modern name.

Not necessarily, no. In German, they're called Langobarden, so naturally I knew Langobards, but I only got Lombards because I know that the region is called Lombardia/Lombardy/Lombardei.

not if you are Italian, where Longobardi/Langobards are the germanic people while Lombardi are modern day inhabitants of Lombardia

Abyssinia should be the preferred choice with Ethiopia as an acceptable alternative.

Isn't St. Peter's in the Vatican City, not Rome?

That's so confusing... I thought that Giuseppe Garibaldi was a composer. It turns out the composer was called Giuseppe GaribOldi.

Should also include original names, Rinascimento for Renaissance (maybe less relevant than the other suggestions, but since second one's an adopted french word...), San Pietro for Saint peter, Longobardi/Langobardi for Lombards

This quiz is in English, not Italian. Besides, Longbardi/Langabardi is not the original names, as the Lombards were a Germanic tribe and you've given the modern Italian names, I don't think the Lombards spoke 21st century Italian in the first millennium!

Oh, please! - English has incorporated so many words/terms from other languages, that saying the "This is an English" quiz is rather pompous to say the least. Answers in the native language should always be the preference, with the English translation as the alter-
nate.

Napoleon was not French. He was born and raised in Corsica.

Napoleon was born four months after Corsica was (once and for all) conquered by France.

I had the family surname of the pope in a file somewhere among the cobwebs of my brain, but my brain first pulled the name Lizzie Borden out of a nearby file instead of Lucrezia Borgia, then it couldn't get the darned draw shut in time to pull open the correct file. Does anyone else notice that happening as they get older? It's so frustrating (and a little scary, too.)

I was so preoccupied with the Sforzas, that I completly forgot about the Medici and Borgias. :(
