=Bristol, UK.=

Actually, as you might have guessed, my hometown isn't in Trentino, nor in Italy. It's Bristol in the UK.

S.S. Great Britain.
One of the things Bristol is very famous for is the SS. Great Britain. It is a famous ship because it was the first to be built from iron and to have a screw propeller. It was used from the 1840s to the 1880s to take migrants to Australia.

Clifton Suspension Bridge
The most famous building in Bristol is not really a building it is a bridge. The Clifton Suspension Brisge was the highest bridge of its type when it was built. It was designed by Brunel, the same man who designed the SS Great Britain. Many tourists like to walk across it so they can see the views of Bristol.



Banksy - One of Bristol's Tourist Attractions
Bristol is the home city of one of the world's most famous artists, Banksy. He has done graffiti all over the world now and many famous people collect his work like Brad Pitt and Angleina Jolie. His work sells for more than £250,000 these days (€280,000.) There is a lot of his early art in Bristol still and many tourists like to go on tours to see it.



The St Paul's Carnival - Culture and Traditions.
Bristol has one of England's oldest Jamaican / Caribbean communities. Every year the people from the St Paul's district, where many Carribean people live, there is the ST Paul's carnival. It is one of Bristol's biggest cultural events. It is not like the Italian carnival. There is lots of curry, reggae musioc, dancing and loud, loud music EVERYWHERE!
