Closed for Vacation

An original “closed for vacation” sign on the shutter of a tattoo studio in “Via Paoli”. The driving distance between Livorno and Vibo Valentia is 980 km (609 miles).

“Sono pieno di vaini e ho aperto uno studio a Vibo Valentia
Son laggiù a fare un 80 Euro di tribalino sul polso
Chiaro ci vo in Vespa
Chiaro ci vole 3 giorni di anda/rianda
Chiaro qui riapro martedì”

(I am full of money and I have just opened a studio in Vibo Valentia
I am there doing an 80-Euro tribal wrist tattoo
Clearly I am going on my Vespa
Clearly the round trip takes three days
Clearly the shop will reopen on Tuesday)

The Non-Bridge of Crocetta

The long excavation of the new canal in “Viale Caprera”, in the heart of the Venice quarter, is almost over after three years of works.A problem remains: there is no money now for the bridge (and the two footbridges) on the new canal, so the street still runs on a walled pile of dirt lined with dumpsters, with some exotic Jersey barriers as parapets. The real Venice will surely envy us for this technological and artistic achievement...
