• Italy - Squiz the World

  Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Join your captain, Christie Kijurina, on the Squiz Kids Super Fast Supersonic Jetliner as we take off for Italy — a country shaped like a boot, where legends tell of twin brothers raised by a wolf, where pizza and pasta were born, and where gondolas still glide through winding canals. There’s so much to explore. So buckle up and get ready to discover Italy. For the full episode transcript, click here.
