Ed. Note :- I've just read the first post from Rome and note poetic licence has been used to an abusive degree. I was not aware of the attention my juvenile daughter was attracting (except from one Vatican guard, who actually amused me, because he was about 1 foot shorter than Bella), but will now be more vigilant. By contrast, driving in Italian cities is much worse than Blogger describes. I'm not 'weaving' (craftspeople do that), I am dodging to the best of my 'force be with you' avoidance behaviour, and it is only good luck and kind fortune which has prevented our cute little black pig of a Peugeot being bingled or worse. My own contribution is that the food in Venice and Florence was excellent, however the Romans should be ashamed of themselves (I'm not surprised the Empire fell apart). Ciao, Ed.

Sounds like the Gulfies, particularly the Saudis, picked up their driving technique from Italians. Except they speed - a lot! I thought bingles were a given in Rome - have seen Italians park by nosing in to one of those spaces on the pavement you describe, then nudging the car in front forward, then reversing and gently pushing the car behind back a little further. *That's* why they're called 'bumper bars' :)
