Give a look at this website:

http://www.mariosrl.it/

This is the official site of an Italian Company which products muffles to cook pasta and pizza: NOTHING is random!!

IT :Facile come un gioco, buono come una volta
ENG: Easy as a game, good as time ago

YES, you have understood very well what its slogan is trying to say.
And  I guess you have understood also the NAME of this Company... No, you don't need to change glasses or use them: this is all real! ;D


No word for the mascotte of it: it talks for itself! =>


Ah, spaghetti! Ah, ravioli....Aaaah! Mamma mia...!



PS: anyway this is not the first time I see something like this: Mario is very famous in Italy, maybe more than there. He is also mascotte of some plumbers companies here: you can see their cars with Super Mario drawn on it, some plumbers use his clothes -for real (red pullover and red hat + blue overalls.), some of them take Super Mario gadgets or keychains with their job items and or receive those as presents from the chief of the company.
Moreover, when I was little, I saw a plumber who really looked like Mario: same clothes, same moustaches! XD And he was also the plumber of  the primary school where I used to go!
When I told this to my parents they couldn't believe me (because they thought it was because of my fantasy again XD), but when they also saw him, they had to! =p

Invy??>=D
It's meee, Super Caterina! =D

Italy is actually the Mushroom Kingdom. I knew it.
No! I don't want that!

I guess there's no such thing as copyright violation in Italy.

I personally think that Nintendo owes Italy along with the rest of Europe for not releasing SMRPG until last year.

I had no idea that Mario was this popular in Italy. Well known, I believe I understood, but...

Well, it's certainly not the first instance of Nintendo's beloved mascot moonlighting as the logo for another company:

Just be happy there's no "Luigee Brand Toilet Cleaner".  :o
Sometimes, I think Mario represents the 60s, but with italians.
