Dear Neighbors,
The developer of the West/MLK condo project is soliciting input from
the neighborhood on the name of their condos. Here are their specs:
They're looking for something continental, preferably Italian (NOT
French, Mexican or Spanish). They would like something with Judges
Hill in it. So if any linguists know how to translate Judges Hill
into Italian... I called someone in the Italian Department and got
the following translations: Judges Hill is Collina dei Giudici.
Mansion is Palazzo. So the Mansion at Judges Hill would be Palazzo
alla Collina dei Giudici (that's a bit long). Other words for "House"
include casa, villa... Palazzo dei Giudici (palace of judges)
Any brainstorming Ideas or Italian connections please forward to this
committee via email. And thank you
Bert Meisenbach
Member
Sub Committee representing neighborhood on condo project.
