One thing that Perugia is famous for is the murder of Meredith Kercher. Meredith was a girl from London who went to Perugia to finish her degree. She had 2 roommates, Amanda Knox and I don’t know the other one. Amanda Knox is a girl from Seattle, Washington and went to Italy to study foreign languages. Amanda and 2 other people were accused of killing Meredith. I personally think Amanda is innocent!

  1. I want to go to the chocolate festival with you! Sounds like a beautiful place. A couple more links would have made this a little better. Did you do a bibliography?
