Sad to have learned of the untimely passing recently of film director Anthony Minghella. Among AM's notable works is the sartorially splendid film, "The Talented Mr. Ripley," which beautifully portrays Italy during the 1950s, showcasing the classic style of the Via Veneto in Rome. Worth seeing or seeing again.
