From La Repubblica’s “Venerdi” magazine and an article on Marty Scorsese by Irene Bignardi. She basically says the following (my translation):
“In English, italoamericano is written italian-american”…. Really? Or do we write in English: “Italian-American” (or better, “Italo-American”)?
And from the same magazine, her colleague Maurizio Corsetti on page 27 talks to us about old former great Italian soccer players who have hung up their cleats. On AC Milan’s former captain and national team player, the great Paolo Maldini, he’s written his years as a professional player in the following manner: “1884-2009”! That means that Maldini, who is now about 41-42 years of age, actually played a WHOPPING 125 years with Milan! Amazing that he’s played soccer MORE than his actual years in life! I think that even Moses would be simply in awe of Paolo’s longevity skills (by the way Paolo, all the world is always looking for that eternal “Fountain Of Youth”. Do tell us what your secret is, please)!!!!
