Seeing the attempts at translating old Italian from Le Pompe reminded me of
the motto for Poole (the town where I live):
"Ad morem villae de Poole"
Remembering what I could of Latin learn at school, my literal translation
was "To death villagers of Poole" rearranged to "Death to the villagers of
Poole", which, given what the local council is doing to the town, I think is
far more appropriate than the real translation "According to the custom of
the town of Poole".
