You would expect Italian to be commonplace in a city whose mayor is named Giuliani and who was just made a Grand Plenipotent Poohbah Commander of the Exalted Meritorious* Order of the Cherubim, or something like that, by the President of Italy.

*I accidentally typed that meretricious. Those Freudian slips

PS- Aenigma thinks meretricious should be merge. Seems to have its own Freudian (or maybe Kinsyesque) hangups.
