Forza Italia!

CONGRATULATIONS ITALIA FOR A GREAT WIN IN THE FIFA 2006 WORLD CUP!

Italy will always remain a special place in my life because it became a home base of sort after I left Russia. I stayed in Florence (Firenze) Italy as soon as I left Russia.
I rooted for Zinadine Zidane and France, but I still feel happy for the Italians.

took pics of the "wealthy" part of the city...the other half lives by the hills


...and this is why I really love Italy!
