History of Italy

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

Please accept Langobards

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.

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

Could you accept Peters church..?

Please accept the Italian word "Rinascimento"

Genova should be accepted, as Venezia, Torino, Firenze are

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

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. :(

Accept duke for Doge maybe? Everything else is in english except for that one.

Italian for duke is "duca." Doge is in italian specifically because it is unique and doesn't have an english equivalent.

Where is the answer stats?
