Created by Cristoforo A. Magliozzi ’11 and Currier HoCo Social Chairs Alex P. McAdams ’11, and Mark E. Piana ’11, the catchy rap voiceover constantly refers to a fundamental principle: “I want to live in Currier for the rest of my life...
...lower, considering that the ship tourist gets room and board for a voyage of up to eleven days. The government-owned Italian Line has little to lose from this bargain-price experiment because the 500 tourist-class cabins in its four ships-the Michelangelo, Raffaello, Leonardo da Vinci and Cristoforo Colombo-have been sailing at only 20% occupancy.

The extra weight is accounted for by safety precautions, including additional compartmenting of the hull...
...come to Genova. Genova is a city of some 650,00 inhabitants, one night club, a Lido with American shower baths, Paganini's violin, 666 places where Columbus slept, an impressive monument to Cristoforo Colombo and the one and only place where he was born. This latter is a small two story stone house with bars over the windows, a noble inscription saying whose house it was and in much bigger letters a warning saying that anyone posting bills here will be prosecuted...
