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.

The Abruzzo Region

Whilst digging around on YouTube, I came across this short videomentary about the Abruzzo region of Italy. I think it is well done and shows off Abruzzo well.
