Seen on a gate in front of a Church

17 March 2008 by Lori Leave a Comment

Italy is land celebrated for its rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and mouthwatering cuisine. But it also boasts a vibrant sense of humor that is deeply ingrained in its culture. Italians are renowned for their wit, quick repartees, and animated expressions. We can turn any mundane conversation into a lively spectacle. From cheeky wordplay to comical gestures, humor is a cherished aspect of daily life in Italy. It fosters a sense of camaraderie and brings people together. Whether it’s through playful banter among friends, colorful characters in traditional commedia dell’arte performances, or the endearing satire found in Italian cinema, humor weaves itself into the very fabric of Italian society. Embracing laughter as a universal language is a great way to face life. Italy’s unique brand of humor adds a joyful and light-hearted dimension to its already enchanting allure.

Another poster with a funny message

I love taking photos of funny posters. I spot them in the streets, in restaurants, and in places where you do not expect humor. This was a poster hanging outside a church.

Poster

“So the man went and washed, and came home seeing”
added with a pen:
“Maybe he only had dirty glasses”

It is not uncommon to find posters with a handwritten addition. It is something that I haven’t experienced outside Italy, but correct me if I am wrong. Have you ever seen answers of this kind in the street?
