Arriverderci, Roma

 This rather handsome chap is Mario Lanza:

and this rather handsome car is a Ferrari Roma:
I went down a little Internet rabbit-hole today thanks to a Car+Driver story.

Mario sang "Arriverderci, Roma" and when I looked him up on Google, one of the popular questions about him is apparently, "How much did Mario Lanza weigh at death?"

The answer is 250lbs which is just shy of 18 stone in English money.

This would have made him a bit wide.

Like the Ferrari Roma.

Which costs between 200 and 300 thousand US Dollars which is about 150-225 thousand quid in English money.

Don't know what that is in Euros but whoever decided to drive one down this narrow street probably does:
I'm intrigued by the woman who approaches part way through - is she miffed because she can't get down the road - or is it her car?
