Jihadists' threat that they will conquer Rome sparked cheeky advice on how best to avoid the city's notorious traffic jams and invitations to enjoy the Chianti, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
The video is chilling, even by the warped standards of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil). It shows the gruesome murders of 21 Egyptian Christians in Libya.
Then comes the warning. A khaki clad killer points a bloodstained finger northwards, and declares: "We will conquer Rome, by Allah's permission."
With Isil's online supporters claiming that Libya might make a suitable gateway to Europe, one response might be fear and a rash of dire warnings that Italy is next on the group's list of targets.
But that, it turns out, is not the Italian way.
Instead thousands of people have taken to Twitter to offer the violent jihadis a series of cheeky travel tips.
They include useful advice on avoiding the rush hour and the best Italian wines to pair with prosciutto, all filed under the hastag #We_Are_Coming_O_Rome.
