9/13/11 Learning to Park

My conversion to Italian driver is almost complete.  With space for parking at a premium I have embraced the small town Italian tradition of parking the car wherever it fits; even if that means that half the car is sticking out in the street.  Mind you, none of this would work in the North where designated parking spots and parking meters have begun to make an appearance.  Not so in the South; here it remains a free for all.  Here, it's not just parking rules that are lax, they’re reluctant to enforce many rules of the road, running stop signs and red lights among them.  Who would have the balls to enforce parking rules?
