I don't claim to speak Italian (I gave it a serious look
many years ago), but had no problem reading what Alfonso wrote. I did see a few errors in what he typed, but didn't bother correcting them. I agree with Poli's statement about Alfonso's abilities and I wouldn't want to offend him either. I'm certain we would all have to take some Italian refresher courses before we could walk per le strade di Venezia senza timore di parlare con quelli della città (the streets of Venice without being afraid to speak with the townsfolk).
