Italians love them some motor scooters and cigarettes.

They generally do not love shampoo. I can't tell you how hard it was today to find a bottle of regular shampoo in Rome.
I also think that 80% of the waiters in the restaurants are Muslim. They are very friendly, but they probably all called in sick for Friday's jihad day (where, as I understand it, they were beaten with clubs by the Polizia... geaux Italy).
But the motor scooters.... OMG. Traffic laws mean nothing to these people. Just speeding street toughs on Vespas. Literally everywhere.

Italy is like the Louisiana of Europe with worse food.

And that is a very high bar to clear. Yet here we are.

We did a golf cart tour in Rome. Craziest thing I have ever done in my life...
That mofo was whipping that cart in and out of traffice like an F1 driver, waving a shouting at people in Italian....and I was in the back, so - facing backward!
Turned out great because we were able to hit a lot of different spots in a short amount of time (3 hours) - but I thought I was gonna die a few times.

Those 2 things are objectively cool so I guess Italians are awesome.
I mean have you ever ridden a motor scooter and had a bad time? Have you ever seen someone smoke a cig and not look cool?
The answer to both is no.

When I was in Rome we rented an apartment with a balcony overlooking one of the piazzas. We would sit on the balcony and watch everyone just barely missing each other as they went through the intersections. Every time there was a red light to stop cars all of the scooters would go around the cars through the oncoming lane of traffic to get to the front.

I’m down to wear some Suede jump suits with a wife beater on and gold chains while riding a vespa.

Just came back from Italy after 12 days this past Saturday and literally experienced none of what this person posted and would only agree with driving habits. Lines mean nothing but that seems to be in many countries. Would not have driven a car in Rome for any amount of money.
Also the scooter we rented on the Amalfi coast was tons of fun and the best way to get around. We could not have had a better time and better food.

Most Italians don't value their cars like Americans do. when I was there years ago on a crowded round about they would routinely swap paint and ram other vehicles. the drivers would cuss each other in Italian and throw hand gestures then just drive away with another dent in the quarterpanel.

Look I’ve eaten at Olive Garden and I’ve eaten at Popeye’s. You trying to tell me you’d pick Olive Garden over Popeye’s?

Olive Garden is probably the best restaurant in most American cities with a population of under 200k.

In the warmer months the chicks ride around on those things in sun dresses and no underpants.
We used to call them "cooter scooters"

It doesn't change the fact that their lasagna is basically Stoffers or Great Value from a box. Yeah, it's decent... But still frozen food.
