Ventunesimo: 21st testa puntita: pointed head
Porcelain fate: great phrase! deuteragonist: second most important character (in this case, Mario).
Italian Fake book by D & G. In the same vein as the various jokey misassociations sprinkled through the story:
Woody Allen in the Henry Kissenger Story, etc. How about this one from real life:
in Brooklyn, there's a Paul Robeson High School for Business and Technology.
There was an episode of the so-so show Quantum Leap where the protagonist leapt into the body of an
Italian wedding singer and had to fake a rendition of Volare.
How hard could it be to fake Volare?
Some modest examples:
