I would enjoyed voting even more if the electoral officials had shared some of their delicious pastries with me! :D My interpretation of the campaign was that the problems facing Italy were so great that none of the political leaders really felt that they had a convincing plan to offer and the left, in particular, seemed resigned to losing the election. Let's hope for the best. A presto! Thanks for the kind words and the congratulations. I would enjoyed voting even more if the electoral officials had shared some of their delicious pastries with me!

In a recent article written in <em>Time</em> magazine, "All is not lost", it is said that "It is sad indeed for democracy when smart people start pulling for both sides to lose". I think it is the most intelligent sentence I have read about Italian elections. Bye!! Hi! Congratulations for your first vote!
