The Gipsy Kings (one "y" I think?) brings back some memories. I assumed all their stuff was in Spanish but yes the "volare" chorus is Italian and therefore Dante's language. Clever of you to notice.
and for Harry. The reference to Maggie (S1L9), I think is to Margaret Thatcher rather than Princess Margaret. Maggie Thatcher famously said "There is no such thing as society". Grim days.
I agree with Harry that the peanuts hatching out of their chrysalises is a great image. I remember when peanuts came in their shells we used to call them Monkey Nuts.
You lost me with the Teutoberg Forest reference though.
