“First of all, let’s get one thing straight. Your Italy and our Italia are not the same thing. Italy is a soft drug peddled in predictable packages, such as hills in the sunset, olive groves, lemon trees, white wine, and raven-haired girls. Italia, on the other hand, is a maze. It’s alluring, but complicated…” ~ Beppe Severgnini

Entro dei ponti tuoi multicolori
L’Arno presago quietamente arena
E in riflessi tranquilli frange appena
Archi severi tra sfiorir di fiori
(Dino Campana)
