lobelia321I sat in Caffé Nero, and one of the best things about Caffé Nero is that you can read the Gazzetto dello sport there. And what do I discover? That Palermo's football team, in Serie A for the first time in 44 years, won a match against Catania 5:3 and are ecstatic! And why is this such a great thing?
Because Palermo footballers wear pink shirts! And fetching black shorts. And are therefore called i rosanero.
Pink! Can you imagine English footballers in pink?
But in another recent game against West Ham (West Ham! I love 'em!) they donned a black away kit with only discreet panels of lilac. Maybe they didn't want to be beaten up by rabid English thugs?

Just look at the SIZE of that stadium! The modernist curves of its amazing sunroof and the cosmopolitan skyline in the background!! And the, um, stoves? in the foreground?
