Still, it's hard not to mourn for what could have been had the collection remained in New York. As Perry puts it, if the New York institutions that refused to meet Kim's demands knew the alternative, "They would have just been, like, 'Fine, we'll take it' and then put the five copies of Old School in a box in the basement."

@LifeinSicily Yes weird but it does not surprise me @sicilyguide: Mondo Kim's Video Was Shipped from New York to Sicily http://t.co/TIYbO4W9
@sicilyguide Also no comprehension of lack of funds and how funds go missing here. TBH a video collection the least of Sicily's problems ;)
@LifeinSicily 2 quote Toscani in the article "Sicily= a beautiful damned land". My same impression after 2 weeks there but I remain hopefull
@sicilyguide True but Italy itself has problems, just more extreme here. I am ever optimistic though :)
@sicilyguide No not surprising, description of Salemi & bureaucracy etc made me laugh actually as so typical!
Hi Karina MOSS here from Salemi. Great article. A little negative at first but accurate. Pleased to find that your treasure hunt round Salemi for Kim's Video lead you to the new Kim's Center where digitization is "work in progress". Lets hope the Salemi Kim's team has your same dedication.
