I____ has an aunt and uncle who live in quite an elegant neighborhood in Rome. On my first visit to Italy, I____ took me to stay with this family. It so happens that the uncle had a big success at work while we were visiting. The whole family gathered in the living room, which was filled with the most beautiful things, and toasted the success with glasses of champagne and small pieces of parmesan, passed around like candy from a box. The champagne was cold and pale golden in color with little bubbles that traveled to the surface with great exuberance. "Chin chin," we said. "Chin chin."
