well, Len..how do you know where this sign comes from? what if it came from Lombardia?and oh by the way,Lombardia IS in Italy, it’s not like you’re saying you’re not Italian if you say “I’m Lumbard”.
I’m italian and I don’t like some aspects of my country and people,and one of these is definitely that noseyness of northern people who think that they’re the best and southern Italy is just crap.Well,that’s racism.pure and simple.
And you should get more information before you talk, ’cause people work in central and southern Italy too!
And jeez,with your hateful comment you spoiled all the fun people were having here.You should be ashamed of yourself
now go play with your Miss Padania doll <_<
P.S.
for all those who may not know what is "Padania": there's a political movement/party that originated in the northern regions,that wants to be independent from all the rest of the country and is based on racist beliefs like "north is better than south" and crap like that.

Len, I would work on my English if I were you. Yours isn’t exactly right, so don’t point fingers.

My god. I’m half Italian (from the NORTH) half Austrian and I’m feeling quite disgusted when I see things like that.
that’s ok it’s funny but italians are a bunch of ignorants masking their ignorance with bigger and bigger errors. Especially in english where they seem to found their knowledge uniquely on sound similarities more than making a little effort, searching the little right word!

When someone asks me, are you Italian? Rome? Naples? I answer: No i’m not i’m LUMBARD (from Lombardia –northern region the only one who seems to work.)

Ahha.. Lol..
However.. I think that the author means the Intercom. Probably it was broken…so for the emergency you need to call that numer.
0039 is the code for Italy.. If you use an Italian Telephone you don’t need to digit this. For example I want to call someone in USA I need to start the number with 001. 06 is the code for Rome..

There was an old lady who swallowed a phone,
Daft old crone to swallow a phone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.

There was an old lady who swallowed some line,
Eight foot or nine of telephone line,
She swallowed the line to connect the phone,
Daft old crone to swallow a phone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.

There was an old lady who swallowed a meter,
A very big eater, to swallow a meter,
She swallowed the meter to test the line
She swallowed the line to connect the phone,
Daft old crone to swallow a phone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.

There was an old lady who swallowed a tech,
What the heck? She swallowed a tech,
She swallowed a tech to read the meter,
(He got quite a fright, his name was Peter)
She swallowed the meter to test the line,
She swallowed the line to connect the phone,
Daft old crone who swallowed a phone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.

There was an old lady who ate a PA,
His name was Ray, and she ate a PA,
She swallowed the PA to pester the tech,
She swallowed the tech to read the meter
(He got quite a fright, his name was Peter)
She swallowed the meter to test the line
She swallowed the line to connect the phone
Daft old crone to swallow a crone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.

There was an old lady who swallowed a boss.

She’s dead, of coss.

There were plenty of intercom phones with one or more outside lines when I worked in offices. I expect some of these still exist.

Interphone usually means Voice over IP (VOIP). The switching, voice compression, and options are all done with software sharing of the internet connection instead of dedicated phone lines and a phone gateway to connect to conventional phones. (think SKYPE or cable tv phone service with a local server.) An intercom could not dial an outside line. Power. internet, or software configuration loss can cause the entire system to fail.

The correct translation would be:
“The intercom is temporarily out of order. In case of emergency please call 00390677400922. We are sorry for the inconvenience” (and yes, the 0 after 39 IS necessary when calling from abroad)

The funniest thing though is that that number belongs to the Coliseum Tourist Office! What kind of “emergency” could happen in the Coliseum? Escaping lions? Zombie gladiators?
