Il Generaleby leics
Favorite thing: I do like to know what the weather is going to be like, as I usually travel out of season.
When I first visited Italy I became very fond of the authoritative, grey-moustached 'Il Generale' who appeared at 8.30am on channel 1 (RAI 1, at the end of 'Una Mattina') . His forecasts were clear enough for even non-Italian speakers to understand.
But now he has retired and has been replaced by various uniformed younger men, such as the chap in the main photo.
The weather forecasts are still as easy to work out and just as essential if you travel out of season. But somehow, without 'Il Generale' (who, apparently, was never a real general at all) they just don't seem quite as much fun!
