The Institute’s 2018 Italian job: Rome, Naples and all through the Apennines by train and bus, ending up in Venice but starting in… China, where else?

Policing Rome would be so, so much easier if the Swiss Guards got off their show pony butts and started helping out. At the Trevi Fountain, for example.
