That's Amore in Bari

It might have started over in Romania when the local mayor wanted to encourage the birth rate, thus planting trees at the local humping hill so that couples could do what couples do with a bit of privacy. But in the Italian port town of Bari, someone's making money out of it all.

Giuseppe Foggetti is an astute businessman who realized that since young Italians often live with their parents until they're married, privacy for those private moments could be a problem. He created a "love park" where for a 3 Euro entry fee (a bit under $4) plus 1.50 Euros per half hour, young people can "make love with impunity." In the creator's own words:

My idea was to create a place for those who want to spend intimate moments together without thinking whether someone would be shocked if they saw it.

So next time you're catching a ferry from Bari to Greece, you know where to go if you can't get a private room at the youth hostel. Thanks Giuseppe!
