	Teen Angst? Naah...
		Between the ages of seven and eighteen, Vizzini lived with his parents and two siblings in an apartment in Brooklyn.
		Vizzini manages to be clear, concise, witty, ironic, and just plain funny with every sentence.
		Instead, Ned Vizzini's book is merely one teen's take on junior high and high school -- but his essays describe moments to which every teenager can relate.

	Vizzini, Italy
		Vizzini is one of the places in the Monti Iblei which were re-built after the 1669 earthquake, so the townscape is characterized by Baroque churches and palazzi.
		Vizzini has become immortalized in literature and the world of opera, as a result of its links with the Sicilian writer Giovanni Verga (1840-1922), whose novels about the region dealt mainly with farmers and fishermen.
		The novel called "Mastro Don Gesualdo" is set in Vizzini and the surrounding countryside, and so is the tale "Cavalleria Rusticana" (Alfio, for example, comes from Licodia, a few miles southwest of Vizzini).

	Vizzini, Catania - Sicilia - Italy
		At 60 km from Catania in the Hyblaean Mountains, on the most northwesterly slopes of Monte Lauro, Vizzini rises on the spot of ancient Bidis, a Roman city mentioned by Pliny and Cicero.
		In the Middle Ages the population lived around a now non-extant castle, as a fiefdom of various lords, including the Chiaromontes and the Schittinos, and was long under the influence of the Arab domination, as can be seen in many areas of the medieval center, especially in via San Gregorio Magno.
		The writer Giovanni Verga used Vizzini as the setting for his "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Mastro Don Gesualdo", describing places and scenes that are still recognizable (the prickly pears of Cunziria, and in a sloping alley the house of the Trao family).

	MAZZARINO of VIZZINI
		Curious I started telephoning these Mazzarinos that I did not know and I had a cordial reception, although none of them came from Sicily but from the northern part of Italy.
		A cousin of Rome had made a family tree, which went back to my great grand father Antonio born in Vizzini in 1836.

	danieldrezner.com :: Daniel W. Drezner :: The White House goes Vizzini on Treasury
		The staff here at danieldrezner.com defines "going Vizzini" when a person or institution repeatedly uses a word or concept differently that everyone else defines it.
		The White House seems to view the Treasury Secretary as a salesman's job, as opposed to a position where that requires any requisite policy knowledge, expertise, or anything of that nature.
		He knew perfectly well what "inconceivable" meant, he just happened to be wrong on the facts as to the inconceivability of anything involving "The Man in Black".
