He contrasts Italian industry in Milan and Venice outskirts with luxurious yet affordable hotels and multilingual staff. He laments limited interest in communism, praises Italian individuality, and questions why Italians would leave such a country. He compares climate to Southern California and recalls a language barrier overcome by mime and maps.
