Closing

Met a real Italian Count last night. Very nice fellow. I kept snickering whenever his assistant Fabrizio said his name. I couldn't help telling Fabrizio (the assistant) how close it was to a fabric deoderizer. He took it in stride and just smiled. I also was unable to resist talking about my SCA persona, which happens to be based on Florentine history. That was of course after sampling some of their wine. Yeesh! Liked the Casara enough to buy one. (the Count signed my bottle too) :)
