Why did the french support Neapolitans?
If this question intended to ask about why the French supported Napoleon, please see this question.However, the question as worded speaks about the Neapolitans, i.e. the people of Naples, and the French did support the Parthenopean Republic in 1799. The reason for this support was primarily to secure French military gains elsewhere in northern and central Italy. It had very little to do with the Neapolitans themselves.

Cultural significanceItalian, and in particular Neapolitans, take their pizza very seriously. A bill was brought before Parliament to safeguard the "traditional Italian pizza," specifying permissible ingredients and methods of processing Only pizzas which followed these guidelines could be called "traditional Italian pizzas," at least in Italy. Italy has also requested that the European Union safeguard some traditional Italian pizzas, such as "Margherita" and "Marinara". The European Union enacted a protected designation of origin system in the 1990s.

Are there any Italian celebrations that involve gift giving?
Italian Gift Giving CelebrationsFor New Year's, ancient Romans gave friends a glass jar full of dates and dried figs in honey, with a bay leaf branch so the coming year would be sweet and full of good fortune. Neapolitans still wrap dried figs in fresh bay leaves and exchange them at New Year's to ensure abundance.For enjoyable reading about Italy's holiday celebrations, festivals, customs, food, pageants, etc., I recommend Carol Field's book, Celebrating Italy.

If the Ancient Greeks were from Greece why were the Romans not called the Ancient Italians?
Because that's what they were. Italy, as a political entity, did not exist: the standard political unit in the classical world was the city-state. While an Athenian might also think of himself as Greek, as there were many city-states in Greece, a Roman looked down on mere Italians, as Rome was totally dominant in its sphere of Italy.Romans were Italians - end of story. However they were citizens of Rome, just as Neapolitans were citizens of Naples (didn't call themselves Italians either).However the Romans, as usual winners, thought of themselves as dominant, and even though eventually the other Italian peoples and cities were allied to them, they did not treat them as equals - Romans had superior legal rights, and exploited them too in commercial dealings with their allies. This led to what has been called the Social War (socii = allies) in the early 1st Century BCE, where many of Rome's Italian allies revolted. It was a close run thing, and when it eventually scraped home, Rome learnt and extended Roman citizenship to all its Italian allies, who, while Italians too, also became Romans.Roman citizenship was gradually extended to other ethnics as the empire expanded. By three hundred years later, all peoples in the empire were given Roman citizenship and became Romans, whether they were Latins, other Italians, Greeks, Gauls, Britons, Spaniards, Syrians or whatever.
Where and when did the Lipizzan breed start?
HistoryThe ancestors of the Lipizzan can be traced to approximately A.D. 800.[1] The predecessors of the Lipizzan included desert horses that were brought into Spain from North Africa and crossed on native Spanish horses, creating breeds such as the Andalusian and other Iberian horses.[citation needed]By the 16th Century, when the Hapsburg Empire ruled both Spain and Austria, a powerful but agile horse was desired for both military uses and for use in the fashionable and rapidly-growing riding schools for the nobility of central Europe. Therefore, in 1562, the Hapsburg Emperor Maximillian II brought the Spanish horse to Austria and founded the court stud at Kladrub. In 1580, his brother, Archduke Charles II, established a similar stud in 1580 at Lipizza (now spelled Lipica), located in modern-day Slovenia), from which the breed obtained its name.[2]Lipica stud farm, SloveniaKladrub and Lipizza stock were bred to the native Karst (Kras) horses, and succeeding generations were crossed with the old Neapolitan breed and horses of Spanish descent obtained from Spain, Germany, and Denmark The studs also imported more Spanish horses, as well as Neapolitans from Italy, as the years went on. While breeding stock was exchanged between the two studs, Kladrub specialized in producing heavy carriage horses, while riding and light carriage horses came from the Lipizza stud.[2]Beginning in 1920, the Piber stud, near Graz, Austria, became the main stud for the horses used in Vienna. Breeding became very selective, only allowing stallions that had proved themselves at the Riding School to stand at stud, and only breeding mares who had passed rigorous performance testing
