The "Rome Tourbook" special section in your July 15 issue almost drove me crazy with nostalgia for Rome, where I lived for 11 glorious years. As an experienced veteran of Rome, I can tell that John Allen has caught the fever known as romanita (which is unshakeable). Rome has a way of romanizing people. Pope John Paul II recommended that seminarians and others imparare Roma--"learn Rome." After five exhilarating years in Rome with his wife, Shannon, John Allen has more than "learned Rome," judging from his three essays in "Rome Tourbook." John and Shannon are having more fun than human beings should be allowed to have!
