Nick,  I'm not sure if you emailed Antonio Latanza directly, or someone
else, but I know he can be quite busy due to his day to day job and he
might take some time in getting back to you, as he does speak English
(if I recall correctly).  If you need help with writing to Italy feel
free to contact me, as I speak fluent Italian and can translate your
emails and replies for you.
