Only in Italy #13

Apparently, Italians love kissing, especially Italians in Bologna.  Their signage proves it.

Recently, while passing through the Bologna airport, we noticed a sign outside the terminal:


Like the "Kiss & Ride" sign we noticed previously at the Bologna train station, the "Kiss & Fly" sign is in English, not Italian.  We guess that many Italians know a few important English words.

Of course, Italians don't need to be reminded to kiss a loved one when parting for a journey.  After all, kissing is deeply ingrained in Italian culture, like pasta and opera.  Perhaps that's one reason why writer Nora Ephron said:  The "secret to life, marry an Italian."
