What a fun read.
It also led to this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gongoozler
Imagine calling your self a bloody Gongoozler. “Oh what’d you get up to today?” “Oh not much, just a bit of gongoozling dear.”
Instantly recognisable as Bologna. Such a cool city, that construction is still ongoing last I checked.
I have to go some day. I also love spaghetti bolognese so I should be very happy there. :)
In 2015, the city of Riccione, approximately 130 kilometres (80 miles) southeast of Bologna, allocated an €11,000 budget to pay a wage to umarells to oversee worksites in the city – counting the number of trucks in and out to ensure materials were delivered/removed according to the receipts, and guarding against theft when the site was otherwise unattended. The town of San Lazzaro di Savena, 6 km (3½ mi) to the South-East of Bologna, awarded the “Umarell of the year” prize to a local resident, Franco Bonini.
