Thank you very much, Clive,
I have a problem with this kind of sentence.
To me, '1' could mean 'a', 'b', 'c' or 'd'. But 'd' is an improbable meaning.
'2' means 'd'. It could mean 'a' or 'c' if 'in Italy' has been added as an afterthought.
Gratefully,
Navi.
0I agree with you.
A careful native speaker would make the intended meaning clearer.
