    Mr President, money does not smell, as the Romans would say. Signor Presidente, pecunia non olet, dicevano i latini. Unfortunately, we have to realise that the old Latin proverb 'pecunia non olet' ('money does not smell') is still extremely popular with our governments. Purtroppo dobbiamo prendere atto che il vecchio proverbio latino "pecunia non olet” è ancora estremamente apprezzato dai nostri governi. Even in the Emperor Vespasian' s time, when he introduced tax on toilets, it was said that money had no smell. Già all' epoca dell' imperatore Vespasiano, che aveva introdotto un' imposta sui servizi igienici, si soleva dire pecunia non olet.
