One of the best parts of the trip was learning about Gina Lollobrigida. She was a famous actress from Italy. My parents told me all about her, and we even visited a place that she made famous!

We went to the beautiful town of Subiaco, where Gina Lollobrigida was born. It was so pretty, with old buildings and lovely streets. We visited the Monastery of Saint Benedict, which is one of the most famous spots there. The monastery was so big and had lots of amazing art and history. I felt like I was in a movie! My dad said Gina Lollobrigida used to visit this place and it made me feel really special to be there too.
