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 same article is available on-line here.  Although this change comes into effect in March 2007, as some who have read this blog will have noticed, the UK DVLA has already been giving out the addresses of offenders to the Italian authorities so they can send victims a nice little fine.

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

For some not exactly clear reason a number of people who have left comments on my blog have been ending up with fines for traffic offences whilst driving through Pisa.  If you happen to find yourself there in the near future, watch out, because the area into which certain cars are not allowed does not seem to be well signposted.

Education Does not Benefit Democracy in Italy

Italy has a problem. Beautiful, creative minds are leaving the Living Museum in droves. Italy is aware of this issue, but, in the Italian way, is either not doing much about it, or is sweeping the matter under the carpet. At the end of the day though, for Italy’s political classes, Italy’s educated classes don’t really count. Actually, they don’t really exist, and for some, this is just fine.

Yes, it’s sad but true that in Italy (and not only Italy) the greater your education, the lower the effective value of your vote.
