Didn't like Naples last time I was there. I remember seeing this really ugly building. The tour guide said it was built by King Victor Emanuel, whom she described as the "father of our country." Then she cracked, "Some say he literally was the father of our country...for he had many illegitimate children."

Much nicer was Sorrento. Or the Isle of Capri.

I guess we're lucky that George Washington appears to have been sterile. Maybe this says something about the two countries. Maybe not.
