Mark asked:

>Given the much wetter climate in the UK compared to (most of) Italy, how
come the Italians were the ones who made hoods that worked well, whereas the
English ones were uniformly so bad???

Doesn't make sense to me..<

Maybe it's because the Brits are not paranoid about being hit by a colpo
d'aria (blast of air).
I have been chastised for opening a window on a bus in Rome in August by
locals who were afraid of being struck by colpo d'aria.
