As a kid we were stationed in Northern Italy for 2 years in the 60s......I can attest that Italian motorists are ALWAYS furious.

Vicenza? Livorno? We were stationed in Naples (Pozzuoli) for three years. Our parents constantly reminded us that Italian drivers don’t necessarily stop for pedestrians.

Of course, in this case, maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

(I kid, I kid…)

We lived in Verona. The Army helicopter maintenance base (now defunct) my dad was stationed at was outside of town.

His base was so small it didn’t have a commissary so I remember we used to commute to Vicenza for groceries and to shop at the PX.

Beautiful country......but it coulda been taken better care of. A lot of trash around.....in contrast Germany was always as a pin.

Great memories though.
