Best lines of the day
After a visit to a series of artists studios in an old pasta factory in San Lorenzo, we all went out to lunch (at a famous restaurant, Pomodoro, which was much frequented by Pier Paolo Pasolini). Over the meal, I spoke with an artist about views of Mussolini. He said this: "Its like if you are having trouble with your pipes. You call a plumber. He comes over and does a good job cleaning your pipes. And then he kills your wife. How can you now be happy that your pipes are clean?"
