Very glad to hear that N. and M. are okay, Martin--and very
appreciative of your posted updates and Erminia's. (I followed the news via
her link to _Il Manifesto_'s mirror site in English, and the reports as well

There's a virtual sit-in going on right now if anyone wants to join it:

It's scheduled to end at midnight (Genoa time).
