It's from Roman culture. You know how there is Greek myths? Well Romans believed that if you dropped the equivalent of 10 USD into a river and wished upon a shooting star at the same time,the magical bull would take you wherever you are ounja and enronfo
and Dante Alighieri, the Roman Empire, Sophia Loren, Columbus, Michaelangelo, Galileo Galilee, gelato, classical music, the arts and literature, not to mention ground breaking science and maths that propelled the human race into success (we have too many prodigies and geniuses to mention, if you look it up there's hundreds upon hundreds), opera, Monica Bellucci, fashion like Versace, Gucci, Italy also has same of the most amazing sceneries to offer, OH and it also (introduced by the Romans) created the first systematized form of Law that has become the basis for every other sytem in the world. Better.
Just putting that out there.
And, guys, are we forgetting Nutella?? Seriously?
