Like the great Italian exlorers of centuries past, I made two critical discoveries today. From the deck of his ship, Amerigo Vespucci stared in wonder at the North American continent after months of desolation on the Atlantic, and tonight, I am filled with the same sense of wonder and my days in Italy will never be the same.
First I present the band El Cijo. These three youths are from right here in Ancona and came home tonight to play a sold out show near the Piazza del Papa to a mostly receptive home crowd. (Sold out may be a bit strong as it was free, but there seemed to be a lot of people and the band was enthusiastically received.)
Second, I present 'Il Colore dei Soldi' a game show whose combination of clever premise, challenging format and rich rewards has seen its popularity soar like Icarus (before the whole arrogance and melted wings incident).
I wonder what Eric is doing now?
