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.
