Italian appreciation thread

Not open for further replies.

Lakes Garda and Como, Rome, Assisi, Florence, Milan, Bergamot, Godalfi Coast I love everywhere I have been in Italy except maybe Naples, although that was in 1980 on a school trip. Must go back soon. Mrs BR is also mad about the place.

I was visiting Rome with a choir in 2008 and after we had sung on a Sunday morning near the end of the football season, I went to the Stadio Olimpico for a Lazio v Livorno - nothing at stake but serious political differences between the supporters.

Anyway BR wandered up to the stadium with no ticket, but wearing a sky blue Dublin GAA jersey. I said "Quanto e billeto?" The gents on the gate pointed out that I should have bought my ticket over 2 km away. I said "lo siento sono Irlandese" and they said "ah. Entra.....benvenito".

Lovely lads.
