☺ Very good point, Michael! Based on the responses I’ve received already, I’ve made an 053 request to LC to confirm the use of PQ5971.9.E72 for Milena Ercolani. Have a great weekend everyone.

San Marino is a tiny enclave surrounded by Italy, so it is a separate country, but its culture as I understand it is very much Italian. I’m not sure which option above is preferable.
