"Listen, Don Ciccio; you see so many people,
what do they raelly think of Don Calogero at Donnafugata
"The tuth, Excellency, is that Don Calogero is very rich, and very influential too;
[...]when he's a friend he really is a friend, [...].
He's clever as the devil, too [...].
That's Don Calogero, Excellency, the new man to be"
(G. Tomasi di Lampedusa, The Leopard)
