I wonder if that good man were alive now, would he be holding the same view now?! I doubt I remember I read his story in the story of civilization.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatDoYouThinkAboutItaly/5/dnbpl/Post.htm#399594Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:27:10 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:399594Kabayan1http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatDoYouThinkAboutItaly/5/dnbpl/Post.htm#399594http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments19-399594.xmlI had one vespa scooter some years ago.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatDoYouThinkAboutItaly/5/dnbpl/Post.htm#399590Sun, 22 Mar 2009 19:27:10 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:399590Kabayan2http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatDoYouThinkAboutItaly/5/dnbpl/Post.htm#399590http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments19-399590.xmlVespa motorcycles have been very popular here.
