Have you ever noticed that when the Italians hang their laundry out to dry, they hang it all out? Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I am particularly prudish (al contrario), but I have to admit I am intrigued. I am not sure I how keen I am to have my neighbors, not to mention the neighborhood, sharing intimate knowledge of my bras and underwear.
When asked, my Italian friends see nothing strange about the hanging or the viewing. Hmmm, it is me?

Beautiful photo! That red is amazing.
And yeah, I wouldn’t want my underwear hanging in the street either… hehe.
I remember when I was in Spain, they would hang everything out there as well. But in this photo, they are just so proudly featured. Priceless!
