Looking at this you may rightly suspect that some of the Livornesi are speaking with forked tongue professing their love for France.
This is a giant table football installed in a canal of our Venezia to reenact the 2006 World Cup final, when Italy won over France.
The players look slightly stoned and their respective tricolors are obviously upside down, but the ultimate affront to our transalpine cousins was to rename this place “Fosso Platini”.See also: Effetto Venezia, Again

Funny! In English we call "babyfoot" "fussball" but in German it's "kicker"!
In any case, these are quite cute. ;)
This is wonderful VP! I want one of these here in DC! Just thinking where would it be a good place! ;)
Your favorite festival continues!
:) And I always thought about it just as a game.
Please have a good Wednesday.
What an idea!
Your commentary makes it even funnier.
Hmmmmmmm.... The final affront is too funny.
Geniale e davvero divertente!!!
Just been reading about this festival VP sounds like a lot of fun and many photo ops!
They are so funny:)
First time that I see something like that, it's very creative, I love this idea!

This is pretty unusual, but I like it.
Oh wow! At first I thought it had some subtle meaning. Now I see the only thing missing is a couple of players and beer!
wow, quite an art installation. interesting
Someone went to a lot of trouble to have this fun!
Che bello ricordare quella finale! Ganzo davvero il biliardino sul fosso...Platini! Da juventina non dovrei ma ci godooooo! Ciao, Arianna
Hi VP,
So very cool. :) Love the images.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. It's nice to meet you.
We've been to Livorno many times via ship. It's fun to see your images.
Best,
