Rome is a customs house
of boistrous, provocative, and often
self-aggrandizing proverbs whose colorful
irreverence is legendary.

ALBANIA’S HONOR
I just finished your article on Tirana
[“Tirana Gets Real,” By Christopher P.
Winner, June]. Honestly, while reading, I
was getting tired, frustrated, happy (for an
instant), confused, and so on.
I was born and raised in Tirana. I cannot
accept a partial review of the present
situation in Tirana, or Albania for that
matter. Albania exists in the bigger context
of the Balkans. I strongly believe that once
we are at peace with ourselves as a nation
then we can work constructively.
The Mafia ruled Las Vegas until the big
corporations took over. Albanian people are
working hard wherever they can, around
Europe and U.S. to make a living. It seems
like they’re buying time until a more
prepared, financially strong generation takes
over. The hope that these factors will occur
together is strong, otherwise we can always
go back to our survival skills, sad but true.

HAIL
AZZURRI
In John Molinaro’s interview with Paddy
Agnew [“The Real Forza Italia,” June] he
(Agnew) said that Italy had a very good chance
in the World Cup because (team coach
Marcello) Lippi “values the overall team
mentality, and that’s more important than the
sheer technical skills of one or two brilliant
individual players.” I just want to say, Hail, Mr.
Agnew! The Italian team proved the wisdom
of his words in the best of ways. As for you
Americans, you still have a long road ahead.
61 percent in 1992. In 1969 only 32 percent
admitted to cheating. See Generation Me. By
Jean Twenge, Free Press, 2006.”
THERE SHE BLOWS
Your writer Matt Fiorentino [“Letter from
Vesuvius,”June-July] is one very funny guy.

I wish guidebooks showed some of the
sense of humor and zaniness that [Fiorentino]
does. Some of his stuff is over the top, I
admit, but it certainly gets you into the mood.

ON CHEATING
The issue raised by one of your columnists
[Madeleine Johnson, “Quadrilatero,” June]
regarding cheating in Italy is interesting.
I have two teenaged boys in the Chicago
public school system and they also tell me
about scams and schemes, but most of them
are pretty subtle and are [connected] to
exchanges on the Internet in chat rooms.
I think this problem certainly is systematic.
I also think we may be too sentimental in
thinking that “they’re doing it” while we
didn’t. I remember growing up in north Los
Angeles that we passed notes about exams
and cribbed from others. It may not be as
culturally rooted in America.
[Fiorentino] is the same guy who wrote the
Roman gods story, right? Well, he should
write a book called “Bizarre Takes on the
Antique World.”
Peasants flee the 1944 Vesuvius eruption.
