That’s Amore

A wanderer from Italy tells of a shoe factory in the town of Frosinone to which love has come stealing on soft, upsetting wings. Production fell off markedly, and the difficulty was traced to discord among the female employees. Discreet investigation proved the cause of the discord to be a handsome young apprentice named Giuseppe, with whom all the female workers had automatically fallen in love. Dismissed, Giuseppe appealed to his trade union. Finally, said the union stoutly, “We acquit this man, for we believe that to be loved wholesale is no offence.”
