Italy is the land of great art, epic history and unique aesthetics - Michelangelo, Dante, the perfect architecture of Florence, romantic Venice. However, if you delve deep into the map of Italy, you will stumble across names that don't sound at all like Bella Cultura.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Among the elegant names such as Firenze, Venezia, Milano or Roma, places suddenly appear that sound more like a bad joke or a dialect accident. La-bella-vita.club has compiled a top 5 of the funniest place names in Italy, from north to south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gnocca: \"cream slice\" in Veneto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gnocca is a village in the Po marshland on the Isola della Donzella in north-east Italy. Today it is a district of Porto Tolle, which is one of the largest municipalities in Italy in terms of area. The actual meaning of the place name fits: The word \"gnocca\" is used colloquially as a casual compliment for a very attractive woman, but can also be a colloquial word for vagina, depending on the context.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sesso: The \"sex\" in Emilia-Romagna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This place name is not really a juvenile name, as the word \"sesso\" means \"sex\" in German. However, the origin of the name probably comes from the Latin word for sixth mile (\"sextum millarium\") or for deposit (\"sessus\"). The village of 4,600 inhabitants is known regionally for its funfair, which has been taking place for more than 200 years. The A1 motorway, the Autostrada del Sole, runs not far from the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
