In Praise of the Italian Mamma

Mamma Graffiti in Rome, Italy

We all know that Italians love their mothers, right? Nonetheless, we’re especially impressed with the shout-out that someone named Mici recently gave to their mamma.

Spray-painted on the sampietrini or cobblestones of a Trastevere street are the words, “Mamma, Grazie di Esistere,” which translate to “Mamma, Thanks for being there”  or “Thanks for existing.”

Based on the angle at which the words are set, we’re betting that a very happy mamma lives high up in a nearby building and gazes on the love note from her grateful offspring every time she glances out the window.
