    The greatest strength of Italy to me is how unruly it is. No matter who the government is, I trust the people of Italy to do their own thing and to largely carry on as usual.

    Not that fascism in Italy wasn’t awful, but totalitarianism was a relatively unsuccessful project compared to some other places. And of course ended with Mussolini dangling.
