Parking Lots of Love<br>
<br>
ROME - All roads are supposed to lead to Rome, but amorous young Italians anxious to escape mamma's beady eye might be tempted to take a detour to the country's first "Love Car Park."<br>
<br>
The Tuscan town of Vinci, more commonly known for its Renaissance artist son Leonardo, is renovating a car park complete with soft lighting and special trash bins for condoms.<br>
<br>
"We're just recognizing that young people love each other," Mayor Giancarlo Faenzi told Reuters by telephone on Monday.<br>
<br>
"If you don't face that fact, you're simply closing your eyes to reality and you just end up sending them a kilometer (half a mile) down the road," he said, adding that the town was still deciding whether to install a condom machine.<br>
<br>
The back seat often acts as a substitute bed for those Italians who live with their parents well into their 30s.<br>
<br>
Even Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi famously reminisced last year about how "many of us first kissed our girl in a Fiat 500."<br>
<br>
Italians talk of a "Car-ma Sutra," illustrating positions best suited to specific car models, though no one can ever remember the name of the book.<br>
<br>
Car sex is not illegal in strongly Catholic Italy -- as long as the windows are covered up.<br>
<br>
But woe betide anyone who is spotted in flagrante, whatever their age.<br>
<br>
Last month an 85-year-old man and his 74-year-old lady friend were caught having sex in a car park next to a school and were given a two-month suspended sentence.<br>
