"un apostrofo rosa" between the phrases volcanic intelligence and exuberant creativity. As we all know, Italy is suffering from an ongoing brain drain to foreign lands, a hemorrhage that the government is doing everything in its power to staunch. Nevertheless, when they found out that Franco was going to the U.S., the president of Italy himself insisted on paying Franco's airfare. Ever since he left Europe and arrived in America, the euro has sky-rocketed and the dollar has plummeted. ...

And I would be waiting, on the bank of the river, towel in hand, because he is my friend." – Lucio Gardin |
