(and I would have rewritten more if I didn't have a Dog to walk and dinner to fix in a few minutes). Torre del Greco is not a province, and does not have a million inhabitants. For the official information on Italian regions, provinces, and comuni, see the [ISTAT site].
Therefore anything after that, that didn't involve just the town of TdG, became irrelevant. Didn't check the two remaining wines for example, but Fiano di Avellino is the wine of Avellino, a town and province of Campania. Most of the stuff about the food should probably be thrown out, since not specific to TdG or even relevant to it, but rather to the town or province of Naples; same probably goes for the funicular and the songs. What's left is vague.
The historical side was no better. "Torre" is the Italian word for "tower", not a Latin word, and the history was a vague hash. Torre del Greco was not important in Roman times; etc. — Bill 21:46, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Torrese
Removed pejorative "slang" reference. Removed "Kayla..." example, it was misspelled and completely incorrect in its given etymology (should be "chella", same root as the Italian "quella") the etymology for "troia" is incorrect as well (as far as I know, the Helen of Troy etymology is a folk etymology- comes from the Low Breton for "male pig", in Italian it means "sow" or "prostitute", same for Neapolitan and Torrese).E. abu Filumena 01:29, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
