No Translation

Sorry, but I can't really translate these signs. I saw them in Venice, but they would mean something really unintended for a Livornese and probably for some other Tuscans.

Pupp in Norwegian is probably not the same as puppa in Italian? I have to translate it.... :)

Hmm! Maybe a Roman friend can help here. ;)

Wait, if I ask my Italian nun friend to explain the signs, will she be embarrassed?

VP said...

Dina - Probably, but it depends from which part of Italy she is from...

Dialects often are misunderstood from others :)
