    Very Visconti.

    Vittorio De Sica
    i think, Sheila though i defer to your greater knowledge, interestingly his story seems to be the opposite of Visconti’s

    Oh, Alek, my knowledge seems to be eroding by the minute.

    Or: insufficient memory for this operation.

    Alek, have you read the book? Should I?

    The book? The book . . . that’s Alberto Moravia, yes? Wait . . . here it comes — here it comes — Lampedusa! No. He’s that other guy. Italo Calvino? Primo Levi?

    We’re talking about The Garden of the Finizi-Continis. The book — and the film based upon it. The film by Rossellini. I mean Pasolini.

    Bertolucci?

    The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, the book, is Giorgio Bassani
    the film was directed by Vittorio De Sica

    the Garden of FinIzi-Continis i’m not sure about could be Passolini and this is becoming about as clear as a Spanish village, think it might be time for a nonanecdote

    I’ve actually read the book (as well as seen the film), which should send a sobering message to writers and directors.

    Actually, my last comment was an attempt at humor at my own expense. But I am afraid that the initial Visconti/De Sica confusion was . . . a lapse.

    Actually.

    Oh, I almost forgot amidst all the confusion. That is a wonderful found photo.
