I love badly translated signs. People go to the trouble of having a sign painted without checking with an English speaker.
I spotted this one in S’Agata sui due Golfi, near Sorrento, where I was visiting family.
What fun!

The English translations of the signs at the Santa Maria Novella parking in Florence are hilarious.
