...prosecutor under City Law Director Ralph Locher. The next step, in 1962, was election to the state legislature, where he quickly established himself as a prolific, catholic lawmaker.

Historic piazzas have been turned into huge parking lots. Ancient Roman roads are being lined with more and more service stations. From Milan in the north to Messina in the south, the car is king...
