Sweating comes easily in Italy.

Glanced occasionally at an old Italian film on television last night.  So old, it was in black and white. Didn’t fully understand what was going on. Because it was in Italian. But easily ascertained it was a love story. Set in the 1930s. Somewhere in Italy. Many of the scenes in the countryside. Perhaps Tuscany.   Looked like torrid summertime.  When it gets very hot in Italy. Yet, remarkably all of the men were dressed in three-piece suits.  Suits probably made of wool.  Everyone must have been sweating. Profusely. Had Italy not yet discovered cool cotton leisurewear?  -Jim Broede
