And the translation of your screen name, in the vernacular of the dialect spoken here always makes me giggle-ay,que verga! is something I say under my breath to describe a sanctimonious, insufferable man...

There are more than a few that have described me that way. But I am half Sicilian and it is my family name. There is a rumor that we are shirt tail relations to the Sicilian author Giovanni Verga. I prefer to say that we are either one of the illegitimate offspring, or one of the salve families that were owned by other members of the family. Either explanation used to make my very prim and proper Aunts squirm with discomfort. You can actually see some of my book reviews on Amazon
