So in my 16th Century literature class, we're reading Castiglione. I love the book, but for many students the first read-through can be pretty off-putting (I seem to remember it being that way in Cornerstone Cultural Legacies class at good ol' SU). Reactions have been, to put it mildly, mixed.
But I did read this gem tonight:
Sure, fencing isn't going to get you a job or a girlfriend nowadays, but not appearing to be a pretentious snob just might.
ah, sprezzatura.
