In a comment Larry was asking how I determine my Saint's Days as in many cases they don't seem to agree with official Church Calenders. Well the explanation is fairly simple - one of Laurent's colleagues at the Embassy was leaving just after we arrived and we inherited a calender from her called - very strangely - Italy in Wine. Strangely because the title may be in English but everything else is in Italian including the very lengthy and technical wines comments.
Each month features a different wine region with a cute drawing of the area, the aforementioned blurbs on the wines of the region and a Calender listing all the Saint's Days for that month. So I've been using that - I figure they wouldn't lie to me on an offical Mulino Don Chisciotte Wine Calender! Would they?12 novembre - San Emiliano

I'm going to call November Novembre from now on.
Have you heard of John Elkann and Lavinia Borromeo giving their second child the name "OCEANO"? :D
Will you be celebrating each Saint's day with a bottle of wine from a region?
The Roman calendar lists Saint Stanislaus Kostka for today. Here is a quote from him:
"I find a heaven in the midst of saucepans and brooms."
- Saint Stanislaus Kostka
He can come to my apartment whenever he likes!
