I'm afraid your French fascist fellow, Dominique Venner, shot himself in Notre Dame just recently. Apparently on purpose, which is both sad and tasteless. I cannot imagine that you are a great admirer of Thomas Mann, but I think he was right about this, essentially negative, turning away from life and longing for death.
Tropea , a wonderful place. This is what the Med should be like: clear water crumbling buildings, real people. Onion flavoured ice cream, I kid you not.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."

Tropea, I've been there and it is wonderful. This is what the Med should be like. Old, a bit crumbly around the edges and real people live there.
