The sinking of the ship was a great embarassment to Italy, since they were trying to show how well they recovered from WWII. <br /><br />PAISANO can mean pal, but I also think of it more as a case of campanilismo - that is, living within the sound of the same church bell. <br />A new book out. The Pursuit of Italy, by David Gilmour states that the risorgimento and Italian unification by Garibaldi was never successful, and Italians continue to think of themselves as living in "city-states," though not quite tribalistic. <br /><br />Paul Klee, one of my favoites, was a Swiss painter with his own style of Cubism and fantasy, using mixed media.Sfingihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903616949048940858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-85423881797955601732011-12-06T19:33:24.968-06:002011-12-06T19:33:24.968-06:00Hi Ho everyone!
