I was amazed when I went to Rome at how much counterfeit stuff was being sold, and even more so who was selling it.
Of my own observations I noticed what seemed to be like 90% or more of the sales men were black. They didn't seem local (their accents were off) and their sales force demographics was way off of Italy's general demographics. It made me think of the nigerian scammers travelling up to sell watches
Deffinatly an interesting operation they have going on (whoever it is). I mean the city was crawling with these guys wanting to sell watches. well the touristy spots anyway
