Yesterday at the Palazzo del Pubblico, I had to convince two German tourists that they were in fact viewing the fresco above that was shown in their guide book. It's actually pretty famous and was painted by this Ambroglio Lorenzetti guy, but I don't have time to double check the spelling on that, so don't quote the name.
Anyway, it was obvious the Germans didn't speak Italian, but since I only know nine and hell in German I explained in Italian. All foreigners have basically become Italians in my eyes. Nonetheless, I did manage to convince them they were wrong and I was right.
It feels good to be an asset. As opposed to being a liability.
