Being fairly agnostic and Machiavellian might shape my biases. I also just dig Italy. Then again I rooted for the empire and the sheriff of Nottingham.
Italy is a great place to visit. It was comical though to see the artifacts from the Imperial Era in the Vatican collection. I now have the unshakable image of them marching along singing "follow the yellow brick road".

My attention would be riveted by a "Carthaginian" bicycle, just as it has been by bicycles built by those in Nottingham (with a much more honorable name than that old, lackey, 1%er, Sherriff)
