Chris Harrington's book 'Head over Heel' on Italy is both informative and funny and may offer an antidote to our current depressive obsession with our economic woes, as witness the quote below:
"For Better or worse, Italy's virtue is it's vice. It offers a break from society's search for excellence and, in so doing, achieves excellence of another sort: private pleasure over public progress, for some a sign of failure but for the Italians a sign of success."
Thought for the Day?
