Fake Polish coach. :)

Google Translate gives "let the dead pope" for "niech zyje papiez" but "may he live the pope!" for "niech zyje papiez!".

Yes, if you paste it in Google Translate in correct Polish form, so "niech żyje papież", it transaltes it into "long live the pope".

This being filmed in Italy, I strongly believe it's based on a Fiat chassis. But then again, I have no other proof for my statement than likelyhood.

Otherwise is the model with additional windows known as van Hool Vistadome https://www.flickr.com/photos/lva45/5071756322/ , but I believe it's based on a Van Hool 304 , 320 or 340 Link to "subastas.catawiki.es" (9th picture to the left or 30th to the right). http://www.lineoz.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2109&start=150 (9th until 12th picture from bottom).

Does anybody know if it was called "van Hool 320 Vistadome" (or "van Hool 304 Vistadome") or just "van Hool Vistadome"?

Van Hool 304, based on Fiat 306/3 engine, gearboxes and axles (look at the so Fiat-ish steering wheel). It surely had an Italian life (as secondhand coach) because its livery is the one used to identify the "Gran Turismo" scheduled services up to early 2000s. I guess the former owner was Fontaneto in Novara, Piedmont, Italy. It's a MkII Vistadome, because early Vistadomes had a more rounded body shape.
