Just like the inspiration for the pink and black colors of the Palermo calcio team, life here (like being a fan of that particular team) is both sweet and bitter. I'm glad you thought this post offset the other. Steven Varni, aka Sig.

But then in many ways living for years in NYC is very good preparation for living in Italy.<br /><br />I'm glad the story interested you, and hope you will get the chance to check out the store the next time you're in town.Steven Varni, aka Sig.

Your post made me laugh at the memory of the "bollo", an easy tax revenue that pales in comparison to the taxes la finanza could go after if they did a better job at controls.<br /><br />There are so many things I am grateful for in the States, one is the freedom of posting fliers anywhere, without the fear of a hefty fine.<br /><br />I will have to check out this bookstore next time I am there.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this story.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305773287880023217noreply@blogger.com
