From the Yahoo! Italian Groups comes this imaginative list of nomi di cittā italiane in inglese maccheronico:

HAVE FAT - Abbiategrasso
HIGH WALL - Altamura
BEAUTIFUL ONE - Belluno
SHORT & BIG - Cortona
SHORTY - Cortina
BIG CREAM - Cremona
FLEA ASS MOUNTAIN - Montepulciano
PI KNOWS - Pisa
LITTLE BULL - Torino
TREE FACE - Treviso

Any suggestions on how the Italian town of Chiavari would be defined using inglese maccheronico?
