Viva Italia !

'Thank you for this welcome... We're on stage tonight and a lot of people thought that was impossible. And I for one feel very fortunate to be standing on this stage with my three best friends...'

Two months and twenty two shows after U2360 opened up again in 2010, the European leg ended in the grand setting of the Olympic Stadium in Rome tonight and thanks to the good folk from U2place.com the Italian U2 community made it a night to remember with an extraordinary set of choreographed flags.

'Still Haven't Found' brought the reveal - a dazzling Irish flag, Italian flag and the word 'ONE' in red on white. It was a breathtaking visual moment, for the band, as much as everyone else in the stadium. 'Viva Italia!'

That segued into another great moment with a rare appearances for 'Bad' and, even more unusually, a snatch of 'All I Want Is You'. And then came 'Mercy' one of the six new and unreleased tracks that the band have surprised us with at different shows this summer.

The BEST and the WORST just in a country.

That's Italy.

The BEST are our poets, our painters, the Renaissance, our historical culture, our scientific researchers, our writers and obviously our cuisine.

The WORST are our politicians, our journalists, the Pope, Mafia and the people who vote for Berlusconi.
