Southern Invasion: How Cowboy Hats are Ruining Today's Italian Youth

Going out at night in Florence usually consists of bars with color changing lights, thumping music, and a heavily crowded room you can barely move in.  Some nights this is okay.  Other nights you just want a simple drink that doesn't involve a cosmic lighting or a sound system that will blast you and your hearing into oblivion.  This is where the Dublin Pub comes in.  Normal lighting, good drinks, pleasant people, and the sound of the human voice can be heard above the music without shouting.

For all it's good qualities, Amy and I discovered last night that it does have one little abnormality.  This may not have been an everyday occurrence, but I secretly hope it is.  This experience is one I wouldn't mind being witness to again.  Italian line dancing.

If you've never seen an Italian line dance to country music, you're missing out.  The clash in cultures is comical and unexpected, turning an okay night into something entirely amusing.  Imagine it: mid-aged Italian men and women, in cowboy hats, line dancing in the Dublin Pub.  Magical.  And here I thought all of the best sights of Florence were in churches...

  1. I would love to stop by. But, I think it might have to wait until this summer. I did not know that Serlkay had ever expanded its size. I must say that a succesful family owned business in this day and age is a very refreshing sight! As well as this is a very refreshing site! Stetson Hats
