Synchronized Motorcycle Display in Rome

A later version of a Moto Guzzi Polizia Stradale - 1967 Moto Guzzi Falcone 500
When I first learned how to drive a motorcycle in the Early seventies, one of the more difficult skills to master was not driving fast, but driving at what is typically called "parking lot" speed... s l o w l y... yet still being able to keep the bike upright and make turns without putting your feet down. I'm pretty good at it, even if I must say so myself. But just wait until you see this...

Here are a couple of videos from the 1950s showing an elite synchronized police motorcycle team, driving Motto Guzzi Polizia Stradale bikes. Some of their maneuvers are driving precisely and very slowly. Amazing stuff. Enjoy!

Videos: Paolino Paperino (Donald Duck) Dancing the Tarantella and Cooking in la Cucina

​Donald Duck is known as Paolino Paperino in Italy. He's extremely popular in not one, but two comic book series:  Topolino and the monthly Paperino. His character is a bit different than the Donald we know here in the U.S.... He's a bit more like Goofy--the average Joe. Paperino's angry outbursts have been watered down into a character who's always hoisted by his own petard.

Enjoy the video above of Donald, Daisy, Huey, Dewey, and Louie all dancing along to tarantella music... and then watch the second video below where Donald is trying to work in the cucina--dubbed in Italiano!

They are guaranteed to make you smile!

A clip from the film Only You (Solo Tu), in which Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei recreate the scene from the film ‘Roman Holiday’ in 1953 starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn, putting their hands inside the mouth of our beloved Bocca della Verita (the Mouth of Truth) in Rome. If you're a truthful person--nothing to fear. If your the lying type, the Bocca will bite your hand clear off. Read more about the Bocca HERE.
