Italiano lezione lingua 101 – Brutto!
Italiano lezione lingua 101 – Brutto in Italiano means ‘ugly’ (see translation here). Some examples of the the use of this word is when the weather is harsh (raining/very cold) or (as we heard at the Fiorentina vs Napoli soccer) when someone from the opposition is taking a corner kick…the crowd is chanting ‘Brutto, Brutto, Brutto‘!
Another example Grace found was the ceramic statue of a ‘man’ in a shop at the end of our strada (street) – see pictures below. The statue of the lady in period dress looks wonderful, however, as for the ‘man’…I would hate to meet him at a bar on a Friday night!

Tranny’s around in those days?? (haha)
Hello Cotters, I have just looked in my Cath Ed inbox after close to 2 years of totally ignoring it. I was delighted to find your emails and to read some of your adventures. I must confess that Celia has been keeping me up to date with the merriment but I was secretly a bit miffed to have been out of the loop. I am a blog queen these days so can’t wait to get into yours. I’m so proud of you all and highly envious! Much love, The Carters.
