Slovenes in Firenze

During our first meal in Firenze, a lovely plate of Buffalo Mozzarella and Prosciutto, we also sipped Espresso Martinis to get a little upper and downer at the same time.

We heard some chanting...and recognized something about the language...

Me hearing something in the Piazza Republica...
...then we saw the eyebrows...ahh, Slovenes...

Slovenian photo opp, some chanting involved
I'm not sure if this was for a football or rugby game, but there were a number of Slovenes in Firenze that day. We've been privy to this regional pride before - remember the Croatians at Picadilly Circus in London in 2009?

The following day, the Slovenes left - and were oddly replaced by Germans. Everywhere. Suddenly everyone assumed we were German. That's fine, I can speak that a heck of a lot better than I can speak Italian.

Ciao!
