If you thought the whole garbage scandal in Naples was the height of Italian opera, you haven't heard the half of it.
Before this week, there came the news that Italy began institutionalizing racial discrimination by fingerprinting gypsies.
Then it was reported that the new nazi-like mayor of Rome decided to ban public eating, drinking, singing and/or "lounging around" in the downtown tourist center of Rome (whatever happened to "wine, women and song"?).
Next, came the story that Sicilian authorities purposely failed a man on his driving test because he was gay. When he passed a second time, they gave him a one-year license (instead of the usual ten) because of his homosexuality.
If nothing could top all of that, shock and outrage hit the Italian airwaves yesterday when photographers captured sunbathers west of Naples enjoying a day at the beach just feet away from the corpses of two gypsy girls who had drowned just minutes earlier.
