The cold snap, with temperatures hovering at or just below the freezing point stopped visitors from entering the Colosseum, the adjacent Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. On the steep streets in the Trastevere Monteverde neighborhood near the ancient Janiculum Hill, many buses couldn&#8217;t make it up, and commuters and residents gingerly navigated the hill by foot. Cold and bad weather continued to affect the whole Italy, some areas are effectively paralyzed. Stay alert to weather the snow so that the central regions of Italy Roads Ministry has called on motorists not to travel in these areas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a long week, hasn&#8217;t it? Well, cheer up, here&#8217;s a few good Italian jokes to make you start of the weekend with a smile:</p>
<p>The Italian businessman</p>
<p>An Italian businessman on his deathbed called his good friend and said, &#8220;Luigi, I want you to promise me that when I die you will have my remains cremated.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;And what,&#8221; his friend asked, &#8220;do you want me to do with your ashes?&#8221;<br />
The businessman said, &#8220;Just put them in an envelope and mail them to the tax collectors &#8230;and write on the envelope, &#8216;Now you have everything.&#8217;</p>
<p>Luigi and Paolo</p>
<p>Luigi and Paulo were fishing in the Mediterranean sea one sunny day when a World War II mine came floating along. On seeing this round, spikey object coming nearer and nearer, Luigi shouts at his friend &#8221; Hey Paulo, it&#8217;s a mine, it&#8217;s a mine!!!&#8221; Paulo replies &#8221; O.K. Luigi, you can-a have it!!! &#8221;</p>
<p>?!?!</p>
<p>What do you call an Italian with his hands in his pocket? &#8211; A mute</p>
<p>A Greek and an Italian</p>
<p>A Greek and Italian were sitting in a Starbuck&#8217;s one day discussing who had the superior culture.   Over triple lattes the Greek guy says, &#8220;Well, we have the Parthenon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Arching his eyebrows, the Italian replies, &#8220;We have the Coliseum.&#8221; The Greek retorts, &#8220;We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Italian, nodding agreement, says, &#8220;But we built the Roman Empire.&#8221;</p>
<p>And so on and so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion.   With a flourish of finality he says, &#8220;We invented sex!&#8221;</p>
<p>The Italian replies, &#8220;That is true, but it was the Italians who introduced it to women!&#8221;</p>
