I missed that one.
I love Italy and all things Italian, but really noticed the anti-Roma feeling when I was there. The Italians usually love babies & small children and make a huge fuss of them, but I sat on a bus when a Roma woman & cute (and very dirty) 2 year old girl got on - everyone moved away and literally looked down their noses at them - you could feel the contempt. Yes, I probably held on to my wallet more firmly, but I also made silly faces at that lovely little kid.
