@rob_murgatroyd: In this Piazza in Pisa, Italy you’ll find a fascinating piece of history mounted on the wall: an official metric system conversion chart from the 19th century. Installed shortly after the unification of Italy, this stone plaque helped locals transition from old regional units of measurement like the braccio and canna, to the newly standardized metric system. It was part of a national effort to unify commerce and communication across the country. Today, it stands as a unique reminder of Italy’s shift into modernity. #pisa #pisaitaly #tuscanyitaly #italytravel

years later the unification every region still had her hown rules for driving ! some uses the english rules , others french rules and others german rules ! it was a madness ( and you know now why we drive as a crowd of hungry zombies following a truck full of fresh brains...). only in late 20ies with mussolini as prime minister the traffic rules was unified in all Italy

L’Italia è una nazione nata su un miscuglio di culture, per questo motivo è uno dei pochi posti al mondo, dove tutti si possono sentire a casa. Certo abbiamo molti difetti e problemi, ma perlomeno ci prendiamo cura del prossimo più di chiunque altro. 😎😎😎
