I think I found the place I need to go to find smart men. I went through the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, and it was only then that I realized how many geniuses came from that one city. Galileo, da Vinci, Machiavelli, Boccaccio, Petrarch, Dante,Vespucci, Fermi, Marconi...the list goes on and on through the ages. How is it possible for that one place to produce so very many geniuses in such diverse fields?
I might also add that the Florentine guys (not the stone ones above) I saw were very easy on the eyes. This does not hurt. Maybe I've just been on the wrong continent all this time. Hmm.....
