Don Camillo

I am very pleased that Julie has enjoyed the Don Camillo stories. She mentions that Peppone, the Communist mayor, is an atheist, which is somewhat correct, in the convoluted dealings of post-war Italian communism. However, Peppone is not really an atheist at all (and his wife votes solidly Christian Democrat). This story, from an excellent Don Camillo site that Julie brought to my attention, best shows the complexity of Peppone's character. It is one of my favorites from Don Camillo's Dilemma.
