[lbo-talk] The not so discreet charm of Italian elections ...

[Jordan Hayes]

I was over in Italy during the lead up to the elections last weekend, 
and one night in Florence I noticed a crowd assembling in Piazza della 
Repubblica and what sounded like a political rally starting up.  Turns 
out that not only were there speeches and music, but there was free food 
[a whole pig, sausages, beans, traditional Tuscan stuff] and drink [vino 
rosso].  Lots of it.  And good!  The place was swinging.

So I voted for the guy, like three times.  Hope it helped!
