Charles, I have been corresponding with Alessandro in Rome. He tells me you were there a year ago. My 80 yr old father, who has Parkinsons is on his way there in April to retrace his steps at the end of World War 2. ( I belive his office was around the Piazza d' Venizia). Any feedback you have about the accomodation you had while there would be much appreciated by my parents. This is a big trip for them. Thanks very much! -- Helen [log in to unmask]
