hello everyone and welcome back to puppy english my name is sam and i'm traveling
the world teaching you english today i'm in the city of traviso in northern italy so let's
get going this is traviso a city where water meets land a city full of fascinating history
as well as interesting english lessons waiting to be discovered so let's go let's discover traviso
we are in piazza de signori the lord's square and this square really stands out in travison it's
the most impressive square and the most famous square and it's the beating heart of the city
that means it's in the center of the city and it's where everything else revolves around
having seen the central square of traviso it was time to work my way outwards and see the rest
of the city and the most eye-catching thing were these amazing canals with their turquoise colour
these canals and rivers really give traviso a feel of venice they interwine throughout the city
that means they twist and turn and link up at different places and many years ago merchants
used to travel from venice to traviso by boat to sell goods that means to sell food and materials
etc and even today a traditional market still exists that's when i discovered this market on
an island in the middle of traviso connected by two bridges so it smells a lot of fish here and
if you don't like fish you could say it's pongi or you could say it stinks which means it smells bad
but i quite like this map i was a huge fan of this open-air market selling fish you could see
all of the fresh fish and seafood it looked delicious it was time to walk around treviso
again and the next thing i noticed were these amazing water mills they gave the city so much
charm but i had no time to waste because i had to see this statue in traviso i was taken aback
i was shocked and surprised so guys this is the fontana deleted in english the fountain of
tits now a little bit of advice tits or boobs mean breasts breast is much more polite tits
and boobs is informal and in the wrong situation it can sound very rude they also exist the word
bosom but bosom is quite old-fashioned so this fountain was built in 1559 and once a year wine
would flow through the breasts so red wine would flow from one breast and white wine from the other
and this wine was complementary to the people of traviso so they could drink it for free for three
days now i had worked up an appetite time to try some local food so traviso is the land of prosecco
so if you come here you have to drink this and it's very refreshing but the bubbles go to my head
it means the bubbles make me a little bit drunk it's typical to have a little snack
when you drink your prosecco and i tried these traditional bruschettas with various toppings
it's good stuff and of course the tiramisu which many people argue originates in treviso
it's really sweet but scrumptious delicious having satisfied my stomach it was time to check
out these incredible walls that surround the old part of traviso the mind-blowing thing the thing
that shocked me the most about these walls was that these walls were built over 500 years ago
to protect the city from attacks and they are still intact today they're still intact that
means they're still complete and not too badly damaged around the walls you could also see
these incredible rivers which are absolutely stunning so that's the beautiful city of
traviso amazing sights incredible food and great people as well so alessia how is life
i can say that since the visa is a really quiet town so not too busy
and so life is really lovely you have everything because town center is really small so you have
