il Tricolore

The Venetians have a weird thing for their national flag; flying it from a balcony is one thing, but fervently co-ordinating laundry is something else.

"Mario, I'm doing a national-colours-load; bring me all your shirts!"

I know what you're thinking: why hasn't the red run into the white?

Answer: because Italy is the greatest country ever in the history of the world.
