    The municipality must be laughing all the way to the bank.

    I think Clete Abraham is clever and has a good sense of humor. Maybe selling street signs on eBay is the way for Livorno to solve its financial problems.

    I would not have sold these traffic signs.
    I would have put them into the municipal museum.
