The Italian language is full of colourful sayings. These may sound bizarre when translated literally but they represent an integral part of Italy’s culture.
“La gatta frettolosa ha fatto i gattini ciechi”. Literally, “The hasty cat gave birth to blind kittens”. This is probably not the most refined way of saying that things done in haste tend to turn out badly. An English equivalent might be “haste makes waste”.

Tom: - Whoa! I'm going to the centre of the world this summer!"

Jen: -Ooh! I bet it will be roasty toasty! Uhm...So, where is it exactly?"

Tom: - Foligno!

Jen: - Foolin...What?

Tom: - No foolin, you idiot! Foligno!

Jen: - And where on earth is Foligno??

Tom: - ...

Foligno is a fascinating city located in Umbria, in the heart of Italy. Because of its central position within the country and Italy being in the centre of the Mediterranean sea, years ago it was defined "Centru de lu munnu" (The centre of the World).

And....Guess what?? In the centre of Foligno there used to be a café called Gran Caffè Sassovivo and in the centre of that café there used to be a pool table....And in the centre of that pool table there was a red pin and THAT marked the centre of the world!
