Rome - World Cup win

It was crazy in Rome last night after the World Cup football win over France. Towards the second half of the match I was standing by the Tiber River with a modest sized crowd in front of a large screen.

Flag waving, fireworks, chanting and singing. I had a little scarf and a little Italian flag. None of the locals had a LITTLE flag. They were all full sized or larger. Waved on poles and draped on themselves. The horns and trumpets were blaring non-stop. The car and scooter horns tooted all night. Traffic was almost impassable. Hundreds of thousands were in the streets singing and chanting. Waving and shouting from the windows and balconies. In the piazzas, dancing and waving flags. The fountains were full of people dancing and splashing about. Fireworks and firecrackers set off.

Rome was on fire.
