"The illusion Italy creates is a relief… The Italian way of life down the centuries attracted people who wanted to take a holiday from their national virtues. In the heart of every man, wherever he is born, whatever his education and tastes, there is one small corner which is Italian, that part which finds regimentation irksome, the dangery of war frightening, stifling, that part wich loves frivolous and entertaining art, admires larger-than life-size solitary heroes, and dreams of an impossible liberation from the
structures of a tidy existence."
~ Luigi Barzini
