I wasted about a minute trying to figure out how I was spelling "margherita" wrong in margherita pizza, so for future pizza connoisseurs, might I ask that you accept its full name? It's such a specific-looking type of pizza that it didn't even occur to me you were just looking for plain ol' "pizza". I mean, you do accept "shells" *and* pasta for the next one… :-) Anyway, thank you for the attractive & tasty quiz!!
If you wanna be correct, Vespa is the model, while Piaggio in the scooter brand: you would never think Testarossa as an automobile brand, while you would think at Ferrari
Espresso is a way of making coffee and the name for the resulting product. But it's not the only coffee there is. Drinking a regular size cup of Espresso is not like drinking one of black coffee. Really wouldn't recommend that.
But Carry, this is a quiz about Italy, and over there people generally call it coffee not espresso; I believe that is the point arres82 was making. But since we're on the topic of drip coffee and espresso, have you tried a 'Shot in the Dark'? It's a shot of espresso in a cup of drip coffee. So much yum! Three shots is called a Dead Eye -- but that one's not my speed, no pun intended.
The photo for the answer 'espresso' isn't really apt. The machine / set-up pictured is used to make all sorts of coffees, not just espressos. If you wish to lead us to the answer 'espresso' might I suggest a photo of a cup of espresso.
Alternatively, you could change the answer to 'coffee machine' (but that's boring :-) ).
I wonder if this quiz would benefit from accepting Italian names for these things, such as 'Alpi', 'Colosseo' and 'Torre di Pisa' (or even 'Tower of Pisa', as 'Leaning' is not part of its name)? [Submitted in accordance with my Italian partner's wishes.]
Out of curiosity, what is it in the picture of the city with the spire and the white buildings that identifies it as that specific city? Tbh I just randomly started listing different major Italian cities till I got it right.
