Early this month, a bizarre anti-economic crisis initiative from a Tuscan restaurateur attracted customers ready to strip for a meal on the house.
Alessandro Signorini, owner of the Forcoli restaurant in Palaia, offered a hearty meal of lasagna and roast beef to twenty clients that showed up with their pants off, remaining in their underwear from lacy babydolls to colorful boxer shorts.
The owner and its customers share the view that the new tax regime imposed by the Monti's government are leaving them "in mutande" (taking everything from them but their underwear) and that these troubled economic times call for extreme measures.
Pick your underwear carefully before showing up at an Italian restaurant next time!
