Italians do great with ships, sports cars, bridges, and canals. Spanish, not so much.
Saw a few hundred trees lining a boulevard in Italy. Every other one was dead. I asked a local and he said, “The workers planted every other tree sapling upside down in the hope they would be called back to replant the dead ones.”
The govt decided that the trees were OK more widely spaced and didn’t bother to tear out the dead ones to spite the workers, who were locals.
...and bathroom faucets.
