Anyone have the contact info for the Italian Embassy here? Suggest we also send notes with our 'thank you friends and we mourn your loss' to let them know how much they are appreciated.

Italians should round up 500 Rags and shoot them. Then tell the rest of the Rags that the next batch will be 1000, then 2000, then 4000, then 8000, then 16000, then 320,000, oppps did I skip a number? Oh well, then 640,000....

From a google search: Italian Embassy website www.italyemb.org

The contact page has a few email addresses on it, but the only one that looks like it might be appropriate is the one for general comments and suggestions. That email address is affariconsolari@itwash.org

Fist of all I want to say you that I’m sorry for my English, but I’m Italian.
I only want to spend some words in this speech for a boy, a man. A boy, a man like some others, but a hero. Fabrizio Quattrocchi. Because we (I speak as an Italian) must say Thanks to this boy, to this man, to this hero. And we must do it because he has given back us dignity, decorum, honour, pride. Because he has faced the death, he has watched her in face, and he has replied her “now I show you how an Italian dies”. And with few words pronounced whit rage and not with despair he has offered at the world the imagine of a boy, a man, a hero of our home that didn’t have fault, it’s true, but who had courage. In this words I see a lot of wish of fight, a lot of wish of don’t surrender, don’t bend, at least break but not bend, a lot of wish of don’t yield, don’t renounce. And when I hear it, now, I fell like when I see my flag, the flag of my Country: a lot of respect, a lot of admiration, a lot of pride. I forget straight those “little-politicians” that go to TV to say that our-government-is-ignoble, that we-must-go-back-from-Iraq (in few words, those “little-politicians that instead to condemn the terrorism condemn who fight it). I don’t know if a lot of person will forget soon this words, I don’t know if a lot of person has just done it. Me no. And I belive I will think about this forever. And now, a little bit more proud to be an Italian, I must say to this boy, to this man, to this hero Thanks.
And God bless America.
