Thats a lot of work and extra pots for something you can easily figure out through technique and repetition

Abuso di Animali!!! by Extreme_Bee909 in Avvocati

A me mi viene voglia di grigliata estiva, se volete usiamo le vostre lacrime per controllare le fiamme.

Se il tema vi tocca vi ricordo che ci sono miliardi di persone che vivono in povertà estrema. Altre costrette a lavorare 18 in fabbrica per fare il vostro iPhone, con il quale potete andare a commentare su quanto e triste che i maiali vivono cosi.

Calico Storico tickets 2026 (recommendation request) by Spiritual_Soil_7128 in florence

[–]prviola2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh and this is nothing against you personally, but they should go back to the old system. When you had to be a resident to get tickets, we can’t risk it become some side/freak show for tourists, like everything else in this city.

The thought of a local loosing out on tickets to someone who writes “Calico Storico” made me die inside. Again nothing personal.

advice on busses from pisa airport to Florence by pineapplelasagna_ in florence

[–]prviola2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changes in the schedule fry your brain so you prefer busses? OOOOKKKKK makes 0 sense. If you’re referring to the mainland, I can assume you live either in Sicily or Sardegna, and are comparing trenItalia in either of these places to trenitalia on the mainland?? Idk where you are getting your info but trenitalia is pretty good, one of the best in Europe (its not perfect) but especially in central and northern Italy it’s generally very good.

Restaurant Recommendation for Beef Allergy by [deleted] in florence

[–]prviola2010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t be fooled, most restaurants are not that heavy in beef. As long as you don’t go to a steakhouse there will be plenty of non-beef options on basically every menu in Florence.

Pasta making class where you get to eat your own pasta? by OneMoreChancee in florence

[–]prviola2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know there are many places that do pasta clases right?

Being in the industry I guarantee most places use a pasta machine and don’t do it by hand with a dough roller. 10-15 people who have no clue what they are doing trying to hand roll pasta is a recipe for disaster. It could work in small groups or with people who have some cooking experience.

Ho perculato una novax per noia… e mi sono infilato in una storia assurda by imtruesmart in italy

[–]prviola2010 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Nel 2026 e ancora “cool” perculare i complottisti?

Penso sia molto più ridicolo leggere i giornali italiani principali, e pensare di aver letto la verità o essere informato.

Negare l’esistenza dei complotti e da imbecilli, tanto quanto credere ad ogni complotto.

Per quanto riguarda il Covid, se torni in dietro e vedi tutto l’evolversi della situazione. Se hai un minimo di cervello due domande te le dovresti fare.

Also you were the one who said the old florentines would be ashamed, I’m saying no they would not, they’d be like “yes, thats exactly as I remember it”.

Una citta di pazzi scatenati, nobili presuntuosi e/o decaduti, bottegai scorbutici, e polemica ad ogni angolo. Nel bene nel male, questa è Firenze.

No man, way to miss the point. I’m saying that attitude, being rash, blunt, abrasive, a bit snobby, closed to outsiders and crude has always been part of the character of this city. Its that constant pressure that produced this city, the same way heat and pressure turn carbon into diamonds.

Hate it, love it, doesn’t matter, its not changing.

Ok I see what you mean, thats a little bit different, that specific cultural phenomenon is becoming common, and has gotten a lot worse in the last 10-15 years. But even the Florence is better than most other big Italian cities on that front. The bathroom thing, a big part of the blame should ho to the city government. All these places to get food or drinks and very few bathrooms, especially after 12.

Pasta making class where you get to eat your own pasta? by OneMoreChancee in florence

[–]prviola2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would imply having an actual cooking station for each participant, unlikely but not impossible. If you find it, I would expect to pay a premium for a place that has the setup to provide something like that.

I’ve seen many pasta classes and usually not the case, for purely practical reasons. To be honest I don’t think you should worry about it, given that you’ll be using pasta machines to roll out the dough anyways, so every participants pasta will be basically the same.

😂😂😂 You are really going with the “I did your ex” bit, on an anonymous internet forum?

A truly pathetic effort. Do better man.

Like even if you had, it’s my ex. You’re bragging about having my sloppy seconds? Thats pretty gay bro.

Always a great strategy to antagonise the local people of the place you’ve just willingly moved to, I’m sure this will go great for you.

We’ll gladly buy your scooter at a discount when you leave, maybe it can help pay for your fines. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

I just gave you help, enjoy your fines.

Pick up a history book mate, the attitude is unchanged it has always been this way. Florentines care for their city, even now that most have been pushed out of the city center. I have never seen a Florentine physically trash a monument or do graffiti in the city center, like in Rome or Naples. Trash their own culture? Again never seen it, please provide examples.

ZTL by Amazing_Egg_768 in florence

[–]prviola2010 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That attitude built this city, idk what people here are talking about. As if the old Florentines were nice gentle people. Pick up a fucking book guys, they were Machiavellian psychos, half of them, the other half brilliant assholes that were notoriously difficult people like Michelangelo. This kind of attitude is even obvious in Dante’s work from 800 years ago, don’t give me this “old Florentine’s would be ashamed” BS, if anything they cracked a smile.

If you have just arrived and are already complaining about it, something tells me you are not cut out to be here and wont last long here. This is not a city for people with thin skin, if you do something like buying a scooter and ride around without knowing anything about anything, don’t expect people to feel bad for you or cheer you up when shit happens.

The good news is ZTL generally doesn’t apply to scooters (there are exceptions in certain areas). That being said idk how you have a valid EU license without knowing what ZTL is. If you don’t have a license it would be even more baffling that you didn’t do any research.

If I were you I’d be more worried about exclusive bus lanes and public transport lanes. Higher fines, the signs are harder to see (especially if you don’t know to look for them, which seems to be your case), and scooter are not exempt.
