I’m making Today’s Winner Arturo Paglia, simply on the basis of his hometown. It’s frustrating to me that I’m pushing forty and have never been to Italy. Furthermore, everybody I know who’s been to Naples says it’s great, yet great in a grimy, scary, and wholly untouristy way. So it’s high on the list of Italian places I want to visit…yet how can I put it ahead of all the others? And how old will I actually be when I ever find the time or money to go, if ever? A conundrum. I guess one always has to have a list of aspirational destinations that one never actually reaches. For me, that list is destined to remain awfully long.
