First words
Trust the Italians, in their own delightful way, to confuse the issue.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Today, however, it could be argued that La Dolce Vita has given way to La Terza Via. Feel absolutely free, as many of you will, to disagree. That's the idea, the purpose of the exercise - to provoke a convivial yelling match in a local bar over a birra, vino, grappa, or café. If you can drag the convesation away from football, food and politics, then the bar you are in is most assuredly not Italian.
