Da Ponte

was born Jewish, became a priest, wrote arguably the 3 most brilliant operas with Mozart and ended up in New York selling broccoli.  Leave it to this man to sneak sex onto every page of Cosi fan tutte, which was fortunately premiered in the German-speaking realm, as any self-respecting Italian girl would have run blushing from the theater.  "toccate, bel naso" indeed.
