camillofan and for anyone else who wants to enjoy a brilliant, though in this case hugely un-PC, story. I do not think it has ever been translated into English before, probably because it relies on the Italian meanings of names to which most English readers are used. In this case, the reader must remember that, in English, Peppone means Big Joe, and Peppino (the name used by the protagonist, who knew Peppone from a child), Little Joe.
