I'd like to highlight the wordplay around re-wind: Vento means wind (as moving air) in Italian, and ventoso (vento.so) translates to windy. :)

As an Italian I am failing to see the cleverness, even if they are written the same wind and wind (different pronounciation) have different roots and meanings.

It would be like you had a site about planting seeds and had the site named por.ca.

Now, if it was something like riavvol.to, it would have made more sense.
