Italy facts chain quiz
Carrying on the latin theme, here we have a number of clues to facts about Italy or Italian people or things. Each answer begins with the last letter of the previous question (including the answer to #1 which follows from #20). No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.

If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie.
