Bob, just thinking about an analogy between Cirque North Carolina and Gaiole. The O"Henry is to Hotel Radda. Fancy, expensive but away from the action. The Battleground Inn is to La Fonte del Cieco, not as costly and smack dab in the middle of it all. So I will suggest to Francesca that for that 5 day period next year, we rename the joint, Il Battlegroundo or Terra di battaglia.
I can hear Pergolizzi running the auction from the balcony now.
