AUDIO VISUAL:
Search through your child’s DVD/ video collection or on your fav streaming platform (or visit your local library beforehand) to find your child’s favourite shows to see if you have any that take place in Italy.
For younger children try to find a non-fiction travel DVD that features Italy.
For a Cartoon based on Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare’s play that takes place in Verona usually) try Gnomeo and Juliet.
Other films to consider:
Spider-Man: Far From Home (has our fav webslinger touring Venice with his friends)
The Lizzie McGuire Movie (features Rome)
Ladyhawke (a 1985 fantasy filmed in Italy)
Older family members may like:

Juliet's Balcony (historically fictional but a place to visit in Verona)
