Scorning the cognac-and-champagne antics of Hemingway's Lost Generation the American in Rome shuns a beard, rope shoes, and pants held up by a length of clothesline, prefers a walkup on Rome's outskirts to a garret on arty Via Margutta ( "too expensive and too phony") Work for Kicks. There are an estimated 500 U.S. painters, sculptors and writers in Italy today. Living...
