The primeval ceramics made by humans were pottery objects, including 27,000-year-old figurines, made from clay, either by itself or blended with other materials like silica, hardened, sintered, in fire. Later ceramics were glazed and fired to produce smooth, colored surfaces, decreasing porosity through the use of glassy, amorphous ceramic coatings on top of the crystalline ceramic substrates. Ceramics currently include domestic, industrial and building products, as well as a broad range of ceramic art. In the 20th century, new ceramic materials were developed for use in advanced ceramic engineering, such as in semiconductors. Polymers are investigated in the fields of biophysics and macromolecular science, and polymer science (which encompass polymer chemistry and polymer physics). Historically, products arising from the linkage of repeating units by covalent chemical bonds have been the primary focus of polymer science; emerging important areas of the science currently focus on non-covalent links. Composite materials are generally used for buildings, bridges and structures like boat hulls, swimming pool panels, race car bodies, shower stalls, bathtubs, storage tanks, imitation granite and cultured marble sinks and counter tops. The most advanced examples perform routinely on spacecraft in demanding environments. Now standing at USD 296.2 billion, the ceramics market is forecast to grow to USD 502.8 billion by 2020, as every industry achieves upgraded manufacturing efficiency along with high renewable energy efficiency.

Every year millions of tourists come from around the world to eulogize the treasures and masterpieces of Roman art and architecture. Monuments and museums such as the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums are among the world’s most visited global destinations with these two locations receiving millions of tourists a year.

During June, the climate is generally benign, comfortable daytime temperatures with sunny skies, making it ideal for sightseeing. Popular attractions are not as crowded. In the countryside, wildflowers cover the hills in spring, and in the fall the land is painted in browns and golds that are warm and welcoming. With more affordable hotel rates, low humidity, the weather is still nice and warm and ideal time for a beach holiday, June is the best time to visit Italy.
