Yep, I've looked at it a little bit- "founded on labor." Interesting.

And yes, law is hard.
*But Mr. Bernardi, I see you're 48. You won't tell me you've been on it for 30 years!
Still, better late than never...
Anyway I guess Italian law is even harder... countries of Anglo-Saxon traditions are much less code-based than us... we're one of the countries with the highest number of written laws... I think we have something like 500,000 laws... 
By the way, I'm (half) Italian myself- my paternal grandparents were both born in Italy; my grandmother near Milan, my grandfather near Venice. I didn't learn to speak Italian, though, until I was an adult (I'm at intermediate level). Italian was something the adults spoke so "us kids" wouldn't know what they were talking about.

Ti capisco, mio padre era olandese e mia madre (italiana) ha vissuto là, ma io sono cresciuto in Italia, così loro parlavano sempre olandese quando non volevano farsi capire da me...
[translation for the few who can't speak Italian: I can understand, my father was Dutch and my (Italian) mother lived there, but I grew up in Italy, so they always spoke Dutch when they didn't want me to understand...]
