Rotten kids for sure. Not sure they have death penalty there.
I was in Italy for a month in ‘97. Italians were great except if you asked questions in English, then not so much. My Italian friends gave me a very funny book about how to speak Italian with your hands.
The use of capital punishment in Italy has been banned since 1889, with the exception of the period 1926–1947, encompassing the rule of Fascism in Italy and the early restoration of democracy.
Before the unification of Italy in 1860, capital punishment was performed in almost all pre-unitarian states, except for Tuscany, where it was historically abolished in 1786.
It is currently out of use as a result of the adoption of the current constitution, and defunct as of 1 January 1948.
“My Italian friends gave me a very funny book about how to speak Italian with your hands.”
Reminds me of an old joke. I think I may have heard it from Jim Valvano in an old speech.
What do you call an Italian with two broken arms?
A Mute.
