WHEN IN ROME... A LETTER TO THE WIRE


I was both surprised and pleased to see your coverage of the Pigneto section of Rome in a "Global Ear" bite. I've been visiting that area for years because of its cultural diversity,  vibrancy,  and at least one really good record shop (Disfunzioni Musicali,  now defunct). I love Joseph Stannard's use of the phrase "insubordinate energy" to describe a milieu nearly vacant of tourists,  but brimming with creative energies of nearly every kind (although it's the only place in the world where I was almost mugged!). Thanks for giving others an opportunity to fine tune their travels.      Best Regards,  ap

Addendum: Disfunzioni Musicali was actually in the San Lorenzo section of Rome,  not too far from Pigneto. Sorry about that.
