...journey through a century of Italian art, design, fashion, cinema and technology to remind them of what global pacesetters Italians have been. Stretched to its conceptual limits, the show's theme of velocity allows for the inclusion of many of Italy's most dazzling products - from Futurist artworks to Pucci dresses and Olivetti typewriters...

...artistic and psychological shocks continued when Mills brought me out to the set in Portland, Ore., where he was re-creating my upbringing (or my fictional version of it), using people who were much better looking than I remembered. Lou Taylor Pucci, who plays Justin (the character I had modeled on myself), is shorter and darker-haired than I am, but his aura and manner were so weirdly familiar that I shivered when I shook his hand. I shivered again when Pucci winked at me and popped his right thumb into his mouth, performing the act without...
