My love of reading might also explain why I stayed in school so long, although by the time I was studying for my MA, and later for a Ph.D, I was concentrating on political and historical books, as my chosen subject then was International Relations with an emphasis on Europe and, more particularly

“Second, and contrary to what some foreigners seem to think, not every pasta dish should be doused with grated cheese: you must not sprinkle cheese on pasta with any kind of cheese; ... and most Italians would rather die than put grated cheese on pasta made with fresh tomatoes.”
Sari Gilbert, My Home Sweet Rome: Living (and loving) in Italy's Eternal City

Some want it scuro, with less milk, some want it chiaro, with note milk, and some prefer it workout foam, senna schiuma, and there is generally a shaker of cocoa powder somewhere available for those eager for a bit of chocolate.

“[Italy is] A country where pleasure principle dominates.”
