Italy /ˈɪtəli/ (help·info) (Italian: Italia), officially the Italian Republic, (Italian: Repubblica Italiana), is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. Italy shares its northern Alpine boundary with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within the Italian Peninsula, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland.
Italy has been the home of many European cultures, such as the Etruscans and the Romans, and later was the birthplace of the universities and of the movement of the Renaissance, that began in Tuscany and spread all over Europe. Italy's capital Rome was for centuries the center of Western civilization; it also spawned the Baroque movement and seats the Catholic Church. Italy possessed a colonial empire from the second half of the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.
Today, Italy is a democratic republic and a developed country with the 8th-highest Quality-of-life index rating in the world.[4] It is a founding member of what is now the European Union (having signed the Treaty of Rome in 1957), and a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). It is a member of the G8 (having the world's 7th largest nominal GDP), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), World Trade Organization (WTO), the Council of Europe, the Western European Union, the Central European Initiative, and a Schengen state. It has the world's 7th largest defence budget and shares NATO's nuclear weapons. On 1 January 2007, Italy began a two year term as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

Architecture during the Colonial America
During the time that North America was being colonized, early European settlers brought various traditions of architecture from their homelands. They incorporated the styles of building in Europe to the homes in colonial America. The early architecture varied throughout many regions of the country. The houses built by British settlers in the northeastern coast vastly differentiated from the houses that the French built in the Mississippi valley.
The location of the houses had evolved from the type of climate and resources that were available. The settlers in the north regions had larger fireplaces with the chimney located in the center to spread heat evenly throughout the house due to the cold winters, whereas the southern houses had the fireplace at the end due to the humid climate. A man who came from a windy and cold part of a European region built his house low to the ground, triple the width, and without a second story. Those who came from salubrious climate produced a liking with a loft or a second story. This is one of the main reasons why the types of houses varied across the regions.
The most distinctive type of houses was of the Georgian styles which were inspired by the renaissance rediscovery of Greece and Rome. This particular style reflected wealth and cultivated beauty of the eighteenth century. The southern regions of colonial America are where most of these designs of houses were found. The basic features that define a Georgian style house are its square symmetrical shape made from brick and stone, central arched door, and several double-hung windows aligned on its first and second floor. Two chimneys would be located exactly across from each other. The houses were mostly built of bricks with some trimmings of wood. The overall house was painted white or sometimes in crème color. The main door usually composed of a decorative crown that gave it an elegant look. All of these proportioned features of the home were topped off with a gabled or flat roofs made from bricks.
Upon entering the main doorway, you would find a hallway that leads to the stairway to the second floor. The second floor consists of all of the bedrooms which were paneled floor to ceiling with painted pine. The first floor usually has a spacious living room, formal dining room, and some have a family room. A fireplace would be seen at the end of the house to deplete the heat generated in the summer by the constant need for cooking fires. The floors were made of wooden planks and were waxed, which gave it an overall glossy appearance. The walls were decorated with large mirrors that reflected light that came in through the large windows. Family portraits would be hung in each corner. The colors of the furniture were warm and inviting throughout the entire house. Most of the furniture’s were made of damask, silk, velvet, and chintz. Most of the furniture was imported in the houses of the wealthy. Almost all of the imported furniture was made from walnut and mahogany. A wing chair and a tilt-top table were spotted near the corners or centers of living rooms.The backside of the house had a classic southern porch. The patio was built with wood, wicker, and maple.
These were the Georgian style houses that the wealthier colonies lived in. Whereas the poorer colonist’s houses were usually unpainted, made from wood, single story, and was furnished with simpler furniture. The average colonists made their furniture with wood from nearby forests. The most common furniture in an average colonist Georgian homes consisted of a wooden table or two, shelves, long benches, and a few stools. Eating utensils were scarce in the kitchen. Farmers would provide the family with knifes, forks, and spoons that were made from bone, wood, or iron. The richer colonists provided their families with many different kinds of foods such as, Beef, pork, and other meats were produced on the place. The lower class had most of the same diet, but in a smaller quantity.
Despite all the time working hard labor, the early colonists found plenty of time for games, socializing, tastes, and religious activities. Most of the boys participated in games that tested their skills like racing, swimming, wrestling, jumping, and shooting contests. Most families homes had billiard tables and shuffleboards. Younger children enjoyed playing with marbles, tops, and “pinching pennies”. The more wealthy families had occasional house parties, suppers, and other festivities, but dancing was the favorite of all. They would dance for hours during get-togethers. Religious services were held in private homes in early settlements until church buildings started being constructed. Like many homes of colonial America, the size, structure, style, and interior furnishing of the church buildings varied throughout many regions of the country.

thank you guys for your help!!! you guys are the best. bless you
| | A. | First of all, say "differed vastly" instead of "vastly differentiated." Differentiated means to become different or to make something different; it is an act. Differed means to be different from.
In the beginning of the next paragraph, I think you should remove "had." If you just say "evolved," it seems more like you are explaining the process and really drawing the reader into it. And do you mean "location" of the houses? I'm not sure exactly if that is the right word. Do you mean the style of the houses evolved due to the climate or that the locations specifically were chosen due to the climate? "Those who came from salubrious climate" should be pluralized as "climates." That just looks like you made a typo, maybe.
"Most distinctive" would make more sense as "most distinct." "Distinctive" doesn't tend to be used with "most." It's not incorrect as far as I know, but it just seems redundant to me. In the same paragraph you also say "the houses" plural and then say "the house" singular. It's best to stick with one grammatical number. So say "the house" or "the houses," and don't switch, or it sounds less academic and credible.
"Despite all the time working hard labor" is also a bit redundant. "Working and labor" mean the same thing, so maybe find a way to revise that sentence so you only include one of those words. You could say "Despite spending much of their time on hard labor, the early colonists ..." etc.
Put a comman before "racing" when you list the games. Without the comma it seems like you're saying their skills are racing, swimming and wrestling, not that those are the games that test their skills.
As far as how to finish it, I'm not sure. What is your thesis? What are you trying to say overall? You have moved away from architecture in the last paragraph, so maybe find a way to link it all back together with a summary. Like say "The people of colonial times led multi-layered, often amusing lives, but their lives were not without hardship. Surviving (maybe list various climate elements, such as winter?) was difficult and their home structures reflected their need to be sheltered. The European settlers' homes were also expressions of the building styles of their homelands.
Something like that. I mean, I just wrote that quickly so it's not worded well, but I mean, just go over all the points you made and try to bring them all together. You need to unify everything.
Thanks for the interesting information; I learned some stuff! | | | |
