Dear Students and VicenzaPiù friends and readers, it seems a long time since I was in Niksic, Montenegro, where I had a dental bridge installed. The bridge is still there, and I've had a few tasty steaks since then, so it seems to be in good nick.
I left Niksic on a hot morning, and travelled along the Montenegrin coast by bus, crawling through the little seaside resorts, where the main road twists along beside the sea, ther small hotels, and tourists in beachwear, down to the frontier town of Ulcinj. Continua a leggere

Life in the current economic climate is a struggle for many, although one doubts whether this applies to Diego Fontana, the disgraced chief of the council's decentralisation department, who despite hiding his second job, and lacking the requisite degree to be manager, still holds his position. The GDV, anxious to stay in with the mayor, Fontana's childhood buddy, ignored these misdeeds, when interviewing him about the failure of the council's summer holiday programme for pensioners to gain bookings.

St. Mark's Day is traditionally the day the inhabitants of the Serenissima take heart and throw themselves into the Adriatic for the first swim of the season. I didn't quite make it, lured as I was to see the new Peace Park opposite the Del Din or Dal Molin US base. Dalla Pozza's men were out in force, perhaps to discourage any enterprising beggars. I've noticed in the past their alacrity at holding up the mothers and children coming out of the school just after the first US base, Ederle, in Viale della Pace (Peace Avenue!) from using the zebra crossing outside, in order to allow the kids to inhale the exhaust fumes of the traffic roaring past.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet", says lovelorn Juliet on learning the true identity of Romeo. What's in a name? A great deal, judging by the protests on all sides regarding the recent realisation that the Dal Molin American base is not to be! The libertine ex-premier's Defence Secretary, La Russa apparently renamed the place Dal Din, in honour of a partisan who died during the German retreat at the end of World War Two.

This uninspiring Friday afternoon, the gentle rain from heaven seems inexorable rather than merciful, as described by Portia when exhorting Shylock to let Antonio off the hook in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. OK, I admit we need it, it hasn't rained properly for a long time, but then, I doubt if Portia had to travel by bicycle, a dodgy venture in the Berican city at the best of times, soul-destroying in the rain.
