Today's GeoQuiz entry focuses on Rome. We were initially going to ask how many Starbucsk there were in the ancient capital, but as it turns out, there are no Starbucks in Italy?!
So, instead, we will ask which year Rome hosted the Summer Olympics. We will give you one hint, it was after the film "Open City" (pictured here) was made, which was in the 1940s.
Was the year?:
A) 1992
B) 1956
C) 1960
D) 1952
The answer to last week's GeoQuiz was "B."
SIDEBAR: The Irish supergroup U-2 will be performing in Istanbul, Turkey, one of our favorite cities in the world, on Sept. 6. Road trip, anyone? (Well, it would be a long flight from Greensboro, wouldn't it?!)
1960, unquestionably. There's a popular non-fiction book which details that Olympiad, arguing its socio-cultural importance.
