Naples. Well, fancy that.

The News-Press, which I assume is from Naples, FL, altho they don't say so (a very common failing among newspaper websites BTW: they seem to assume everybody following a link will know all about them. Wrong!) announced that an author says:

Naples is the top small art town in America, according to a newly published edition of a cultural arts travel book....

(Naples falls in the category of cities under 30,000 population, and Villani listed the population at 25,000)...

Daniels said the nonprofit institution, with an annual budget of $25 million and more than $100 million in assets, has no limit but what money might be available for future expansion.

Sounds like someone has been doing a fair job of fundraising in a community of 25,000. Isn't that an annual budget of $1000 per resident? Or do I need another cup of coffee before essaying higher math?

UPDATE: I suppose the $25 megabucks part could be a typo for 2.5 megabucks. That would make more sense. I can't imagine what they would do with 25. That's a lot of Auntie Mame productions.
