Hi Paul,
Just now reading these posts. I have spent thousands with Matteo and he always does the right thing. His handle of the American English language is readable but totally superior to my grasp of written Italian :-). Matteo is a good person, please be as you can allow.
Best to all,
Guy Apple Sunnyvale CA
