...reviews furnish the walls. A massive vintage print of a cartoon character feeding on spaghetti basks in bright colors. “Così si mangia a Napoli!” it reads. Translation: “This is how we eat in Naples!” As I sit down for my first meal, I hope that restaurant delivers on its cartoon’s promise.

...require that one-sixth of the full Faculty be present for any “binding votes” to occur. If the new legislation were adopted, the figure would be lowered to one-eighth.
