Italy has a very rich history as well, so I would imagine to combine ancient Greek and Roman together would have been very interesting especially it sounds like you enjoy the topic. A lot of school kids don't, or don't appreciate it at a young age because it's not as cool as say playing computer games.
You're so lucky to come from a beautiful city.
I have to admit that videogames were more appealing even to me 😅 but luckily I was teached by my parents to always put effort in what I do, so I ended up appreciating most of what I studied back then. Sadly without exercise I forgot most of that knowledge during the following years, but I can still appreciate the beauty of a work of art (both made buy us, humans, or by nature)... and the Parthenon, up there in the Acropolis, is so majestic that you have to love it! :)
Thanks! Have you ever been there? Tuscany is quite a beatiful place to visit if you like history, art and nature :)
