Sprezzatura. That's a lovely word. Italian is a beautiful language. When I was in Italy, I delighted in listening to ordinary Italians speaking. Even their cursing sounds like music.

A fascinating book I read some years back is titled Sprezzatura: 50 Ways Italian Genius Shaped The World, by Peter D'Epiro and Mary Desmond Pinkowish.
