Festa del Cornuto

What elected office has Hillary Clinton won repeatedly without even trying? That of unofficial patroness of the Festa del Cornuto (Festival of the Betrayed Spouse), held yearly in a village just outside Rome. Clinton and her fellow cornuti share the glory of the day with the chestnut, a local delicacy that the town celebrates at the same time. Both classes of honourees are roasted in one way or another: the nuts over open fires, the victims of infidelity through ironic poetry composed with them in mind.
