FUN FACT/LEGEND:
 In Italy there is a legend of twin brothers, Romulus and Remus, who were abandoned as babies and founded Rome. They were taken in by a she-wolf that let them drink her milk. A shepherd found the twins with the wolf and took them home. He raised them as his own sons. The twins built a city where they were found by the wolf, but they quarreled. Romulus killed Remus in a fight. He became king of the city, that was named Rome in his honor.

   Mt. Stromboli is one of the three major volcanos in Italy. Stromboli is also an Italian stuffed bread. The other two major volcanos are Mt. Etna and Mt. Vesuvius.
