Dear Prof. Nisbet, thank you for your offer. Our burocracy requires however that you fill a form to ask for the photos to study, which the office can register and number. I attach a model in word which you can adapt to the theme of research. Best regards, Valentina Belfiore Could this be the end of the beginning? A new chapter in British-Italian numismatic diplomacy? Now all I go to do is fill in a form...I'll get Mrs NewStyleKing to do that...I hate forms!
I hope filling that form won't be as painful as obtaining the A38 pass from another italian administration ... (if you don't know it, you don't really need to know french to get the "joke") Joke aside, great job and dedication of yours, I hope that all of this will work eventually.
