Rome is INSANE.

I always thought I was an "assertive" driver. These people put the fear of God into me.

Lots of Gods in fact. Every time I turn a corner I trip over something that's 2000+ years old. Nobody even seems to notice.

I am going to die by cheese. If my feet don't fall off first.

First rule of Italian Driving, what is behind you does not matter.

Oh and the old stuff, they have so much they recycled a bunch of it to make plaster. (Marble, when burned at high temperature is used to make plaster). Thus, a great deal of Roman art and architecture are now the coatings of buildings and rooms.

They use it for everything. Every curb is made out of marble.
