But the crowded rebars on top have a less pleasant echo: they are typical of unfinished homes in many countries. In Italy, they are mainly used to show that the house is not finished in order to delay taxation indefinitely!<br />AngiolaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196822776323209128.post-35444966517227472762015-02-15T01:31:50.702+01:002015-02-15T01:31:50.702+01:00

What I remember best is being driven at full speed along the Fiat test circuit (the one in the picture) thanks to a former suitor of my mother's, who had become a big Fiat boss.
