A feature, yes, a feature.
Only the outline of a fast Ferrari, 
or the roar of a MV-Agusta, or a dish
of bucatini, or the new pizza called '2 a 0'
[from the score of Italy-Germany, soccer 
World Cup, last week], or the soundtrack 
of Fellini's 'Amarcord', really reflects 
our idea of Italy, as a nation.
Or am I wrong here?
