"He's an Italian priest in a small Po Valley town"
I've been tempted to try to get people to freep the Don Camillo mailing list. It's run by a nice lady, but she's overrun by mouth-frothing socialist cretins.
They are charming books . . . certainly Guareschi gives the Italian Communists a hard time, but he's also fair (e.g. the tomato incident and the People's Palace).
What are the Socialists upset about?
