Caro Filangieri

Your reference to Groucho would have pleased him greatly!

Our most recent President of Italy, Mr. Napoletano, is a Communist. He has a wonderful mansion in Sicily on the island of Panarea, a jet set destination, not far from the mansion of Dustin Hoffman.

Oh, I did say mansion, not gulag, right?

Cheers
Dear Mr. Alden,
If you really insist on poking facile fun at my country's president, at least be congnizant of the fact that the ability to spell his name correctly would lend your cutting critique some credibility.
