+ =Italy Google Maps Mashups!When I last did my Italian roundup back in December '05 I could only find 2 Google Maps mashups for Italy. This was before street mapping was available for Europe and only satellite maps existed. Now more mashups have surfaced and I'm back with a roundup of all known Google Maps mashups for the country of Italy. Know of another one not mentioned? Add to this list by posting a comment! I've indicated what language the pages are in to help your exploring of these mashups. If you're interested to translate the Italian text to English or another language try the Babelfish Translator Tool..Venice Google Maps Mashup - Here is a great English language Google Maps mashup for the city of Venice, Italy.

Each point of interest has details about the location and some include multi-tabbed info windows with photos and event listings for that attraction. [English language]Restaurants in Italy on Google Maps - Best described by the mashup creator: "Italians love food and foreigners love Italian food too, so we decided to build a community of people who enjoy dining out and like to share the favourite places with others. For sure all this in full web 2.0 style with tags, wikis, google maps mashups and everything." Here is an example of a Chinese restaurant search in Rome. "We also have geographical searches of restaurants in a certain city district and wiki features to allow people to correct the position of the restaurant on the map." [Italian language - for *now*..
