For all you Atilla fans, this is the promised photograph of the very location in Northern Italy where Pope Leo the Great convinced Atilla not to attack Rome. Amazing, isn't it? This is taken from Paolo's car as we were driving from his parent's home to Mantua. (You have to read the road sign carefully)
And for those of you who remember one of our former Math/Science teachers, this must be some long lost relatives and their furniture store, also on the road to Mantua. Mr. Ghidotti, where are you? Somewhere surrounded by copper in Arizona?

hazzah for the super pope!
How was the conflict resolved? I've heard tell that they played a game of poker, winner takes all.
POPE LEO ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha yeah sure attila and pope leo played a game of poker without the cards and without the table and without the rules sure that sure would work!
Poker can resolve any conflict.It gets realy exciting when something big is on the line, like ur city being sacked.
Yep, I agree with Mike. I also think that they might've Romboed for the city. That'd be really fun: Pope vs. Atilla
For those of you who aren't familiar with Rombo, never mind.
lol, yes these are all very mature ways to negotiate.
No no. You've got it all wrong. Pope Leo just probably said that Atilla could sack Rome later, and then payed him a little bribe...
Whatssssssssssuuuuuupppppppppp???!!!!!!???????
i heard this song that said, "then there shined a shiny demond in the middle of the road and it said sing me the best song in the world. so we did. and it happened to be the best song in the world." This has nothing to do with Attila and the Pope but I thought you should know. WWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Adios!!!!!
spencer, dude u like wasted 40 seconds of my life having to read ur pointless blog. Wat was that about?
Mike,
Wait till you see mine.

well i just finished my biography and i just thought u might like to know that legend has it that attila looked up to the sky and he saw a man who was presumably an angel grinding his teeth and holding a sword above his head and he threatened to cut attila's head off if he didn't reason with leo so HA! i beat all of you!
No, that couldn't be. You see, I have a photograph, an actual photograph, of them playing cards.

oh of course you do! i do too! i included one in my rough draft for my biography. and in the background you can see a little girl picking daisys and a man sitting on a luv sak and watching a soap opera
It would ahve been even cooler if Atilla and Pope Leo took it in the ring. First one down loses all. lol.
ya id like to see that pic matthew! lol
oh ive seen it matthew showed me its all black and white and there are all of attila's armies in the background cheering attila on so they can satisfy their blood lust and sack rome
wat are we talking about?!
ya i can see that the pope and a barbarian wrestling... sure
I think that Pope Leo gave some human sacrifices to please Atilla. (a.k.a., some unwanted priests.)
yes what a... popely thing to do...
i personally think that attilla was on acid......or some kind of mushroom that got in his casserole...
untilla we meet again!hluhuhuhuh!!
M-A-R-K-U-S
wow that is such a laugh...NOT
I have looked everywhere for the hw.... well I guess I can't do it lol
oh what a shame... that really is a shame... haha im not complaining!
Father Leo talked about Atilla meeting Leo on the retreat....
He said they did't play cards, but prayed.
I really think we should ask Mrs. May...
