A: “Did you know that in every public schoolroom in Italy the law requires a crucifix and a picture of Garibaldi to be prominently displayed?”

B: “Really? Why Garibaldi?!”

  1. How do you analyze the recent wrongful convictions of Raffaele Sollecito and Amanda Knox in light of your understanding of the Italian psyche? To me, the “madonna-whore” complex has a lot to do with it as does the uniquely Italian fear of losing face. Would be interested in your views.
