“Italy’s smaller contributions to everyday life are so numerous as to go unnoticed. There would be no pistols but for the city of Pistoia...no millinery but for the city of Milan; no blue jeans but for the city of Genoa, Genes, where the blue cotton cloth was first produced...no Neapolitan ice-cream, no Roman candles, no Venetian blinds...Italians have discovered America for the Americans; taught poetry, statesmanship, and the ruses of trade to the English; military art to the Germans; cuisine to the French; acting and ballet dancing to the Russians; and music to everybody” (Luigi Barzini, The Italians 1964)
