Back in 1959, sending a message overseas – in this case: the USA and Italy – was a true test of patience that could rival waiting for a pot of water to boil or watching paint dry. You had to rely on the magical powers of airmail, hoping your message wouldn’t get lost in the Bermuda Triangle of postal delays, or worse, end up in Narnia. And if you were lucky enough, after what felt like an eternity, your message might finally reach the other person in a mere several weeks, just in time for you to scratch your head and wonder, “Wait, what was that message about again?”.
