Mutande (Panties) of Italy

[Allifunn]

Damn, they were given to me as 'Il pantalones di Marto Wall'. I thought it was some new Italian fashion designer!

well, we watched that big guy with the white undershirt and shorts everyday for over a week in Vernazza, Italy when we were there for CJ and BBBM's wedding. we now have our very own sowal festival named for him. we could never figure out why he was wearing that white uniform day after day in the piazza, like he was on patrol or something in his underwear (though it was shorts - but looked like boxers). you shall have to attend the next Festival de Pantelones Bianca. we cook lots of Italian and wear white. BBBM and CJ wore actual men's white undershirts and boxers from walmart. hysterical. BBBM won the costume contest and got to take home the festival poster.

Uncle Timmy (twt) - where is the poster/invite?

...and now that I know, this year, I will wear a white shirt too.

well, we did kind of get to know Mr. Bianca Pantelones, but not personally. see, we were afraid to actually speak to him. but we watched him and he was part of our daily experience in Vernazza. kind of a distant friendship you might say...

I just found this thread - interesting. Yes Tootsie we will be having another Festival di Pantalones Bianca this fall but bigger and more outrageous than last year. Who knew others shared our enthusiasm for Italian underwear! (That ought to be explained to everyone reading but I guess we'll just let their imaginations run with it.....)

Tootsie: If others are invited to your wonderful Festival di Pantalones Bianca in the fall, I'd love to come (I started the mutande of Barga thread -- Barga is my family's hometown in the old country). I really think Barga and SoWal are sister cities with some like minded people--SoWal has the lovely ocean/Barga has the lovely Alpinini mountains.

And both have a fascination with the pantalones!

I want an Italian experience like that! ;-)

This thread has definitely got me leaning toward a trip. Husband was already interested, but I was ho-hum ....... Thanks Paula for this thread!!

Sure seems like it. Except that the Barga people like to paint pictures of mutande and the SoWal people like to party in pantalone. And the Barga people (known as the Bargagiani -- are we known as Sowallers?) made a calendar with photos of the mutande of Barga. I'm ordering two...
