nerone...






Today is June 1st and so it's once again a new theme day within the City Daily Photo community. The June theme is, "funny signs."

This poster I happened upon today–returning home from a guided walk–is plastered all over town. It's impossible to miss its loud furniture clearance sale.

The text reads, "Nerone ha bruciato Roma... e noi ABBBRUCIAMO i prezzi" which roughly translates to, "Nero burned down Rome... and we're (heavy Roman dialect and block lettering) burning out prices."
