Thanks Gennaro. I particularly enjoyed 11a, 14a, 22a, 5d & 13d. Your signature device fell into place fairly late in the solve. I wasn’t sure if it was a reference to current events over your way, but it helped me with the last few holdouts. A few eyebrow twitches for me (eg def in 6a) but nothing too serious. Keep it up!
Very belatedly working through my 'must-do' list and realised that I'd managed to miss a weekly Gennaro! As enjoyable as ever, if slightly trickier than usual towards the end - I had a handful of holdouts that took almost as long as the rest of the puzzle! (6a, 25, 1d, 17d) ... Liked 14a, 15a, 23a, 3d and 4d. One observation not mentioned elsewhere in the Reply -> Thanks!
