Dear Spurtle
I forwarded your report on a Bellevue bench's Italian connection (NEW IN BELLEVUE – AN ITALIAN HERO, 2 April 2025) to my contacts south of the Alps and they found the inscribed text "rather shallow" and unlikely to add to Edinburgh's eleganza.
However, referencing the great Immanuel Kant, they described the Council's thoughts behind their intervention as at least 'comforting.
