June 2001

Street photography, ancient Roman style.

Campaign slogans on a storefront.

Walk/don’t walk.

The streets were rather quiet due to an unfortunate natural disaster. The residents left only their shapes.

Imagine a party where half the people are driving around on scooters while drunk. That’s Naples.

Italian trains.

Giolitti, temple of gelato worship.

Della Palma, down the street, is also good but not half as classy.

. . .

Why take drugs when you can go see the Hiro Yamagata show at Ace Gallery instead? [Thanks Fred.]

A chain of very honest boutiques.

I find this personally offensive.

The guy who tried to grab my wallet on the metro looked nothing like this.

St. Peter’s, the Vatican.

By a payphone on the roof. The Vatican is in Rome… but it’s not.

Oh no, forgot my Vatican phonecard.

I also forgot to get the number.

Roccalbegna.

Porto San Stefano.
Gianluigi is clearly the Super Greg of southern Tuscany.

Poggioferro.
Seen along a country road: Italian ostriches?

I wrote today’s Cyber Law Journal column on nytimes.com: Invisible Publishing Sparks a Lawsuit. If you rip off someone else’s stuff, but nobody can read it, is it still plagiarism?
