...Italian rail pass is good for 8, 15, 21 or 30 days (from $58 to $160), first or second class. Italy's Museum Card ($1) is good for free admission to 277 state-owned museums and archaeological sites...
...than plays, and if one pilfers the formulas of the past, as the fashioners of Carmelina have, one has to be lucky enough to find a fossil audience to match.

...most famous tragic love story, except that this interpretation has a great deal of "fast and furious" action, according to one cast member, and that director Valerie Lester is aiming for highly emotional heights.
