Dedication

To Uberto, Guglielmo, and Lodovica.

With love

Michele Marchesi

In memory of my father, Dino Succi, who always had the right word or the right silence.

With love

Giancarlo Succi

In memory of my father, James E. Wells, who filled our home with books, wall to wall, floor to ceiling, two rows deep.

There was always room for just one more.

Don Wells

To my mom and in memory of my dad.
