Speeding fines in Italy, again, and Pisa…

It’s official, the article in the Telegraph I read while I was in the UK would seem to indicate that Euro traffic fines will shortly be with us.

Letter’s to Juliet is a new film which caught my eye because most of it has been filmed in and around Verona in Italy. It looks as though Letter’s to Juliet, which is a light romantic comedy, with a hint of mystery thrown in for good measure, is creating something of a buzz, too.
