Graffiti on snow banks in Tour of Italy

[Evan Evans]

Watching the Tour of Italy. I noticed some graffiti written
in the snow on one of the mountain stages. I was hoping
someone could tell me what it means. It is very similar to
the volkswagen logo with a "v" intertwined over a "w". I
have seen it before in old tour books in the days of Coppi.
Any ideas? Thanks, George. graphity

They are two V's, so it looks like a W. It means "Viva"

VV Coppi

VV El Bocia (Cunego - or at least I think I saw that during
one stage, and he's nothing if not a bocia

VV Gli Sposi (the newlyweds)

VV La F**A (you figure it out)

and so on...

And when done correctly requires a lot of Italian beer.

Better not be Moretti La Rossa, which a lot of will result
in some style problems.
