Clarification request(s) and response
Kimmy: 9:14pm Mar 11, 2003: controcommario! I have a feeling that the this should be the "controcommario", frontespizio is the cover of the magazine -
Kimmy: 9:15pm Mar 11, 2003: I intended to write Controsommario but my fingers are playing ball! -
Angela Arnone (asker): 9:20pm Mar 11, 2003: I'm afraid you've lost me Kimmy. - This is a book (an art catalogue to be precise) and as the "frontispizio" is the "title-page" (not the cover) then I presume this to be page that faces it.
Thanks
Angela
