THE ENTRANCE TO ITALY
is marked by an 83-foot-tall
campanile (bell tower)
inten-
ded to mirror the one in St. Mark's Square in Venice. Left of the campanile is a replica
of the 14th-century
Doge's Palace.
Streets and courtyards in the Italy Pavilion are among the most realistic in the
World Showcase. You really feel as if you're in Italy. Because there's no film or ride,
tour anytime.
I love the Italian restaurant
Tutto Italia.
After a long day walking around, I
get to sit down in air-conditioning, rest my legs—and eat pasta. YUM!
