In Trieste he went to the only Italian Real-gymnasium where the pupils did not have to learn Latin and Greek. His ancestors had all been solid people, merchants, physicians, even one general, but he decided to be an actor.

There is a field for such courses, and if they are properly announced and organized, there...

The work of the course might be built around reading assignments in translations of established excellence.
