Hey! Back from the "the Boot" with many hundreds of pics to share!
Just one of the obvious differences you notice between the US & Italy are the cars. With it's ancient Roman towns being tangled webs of narrow streets, smaller is definitely better.
TOP - In Firenze ("Florence" to us - don't get me started on "Anglecized" place names), I spotted this Pasquali, a three-wheeled single-seater perfect for Tuscan-town cruising.
2nd - Along with SmartCars and Minis, Fiats were among the more numerous nameplates we encountered. So popular are they in Italy, even this beastie was a big seller: behold the Fiat Multipla, voted by Top Gear to be the world's "Ugliest Car" in 1999 (and well-deserving of the title, IMHO). This one was spotted in Roma.
3rd - Of course, vehicles of the two-wheeled variety are even more popular in Italia, and their riders will find ways to park as many of them in an available space as possible (like this one in Milano).
BOTTOM - Again from Firenze, a oh-so perfectly aligned row of scooters that just begged to be photographed.
