• Comment: I struck the original hook, as ALT5 is similar but better. Mindmatrix 18:02, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

• Article was new at the time of nomination, is definitely long enough, and contains no plagiarism I could detect (most of the sources are in Italian anyway). All hooks are pretty interesting, but I chose ALT2, as it's the most readily verifiable. The QPQ is good and the image is present. Neat article. 23W 22:31, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
