Hello Listers

Sorry it took me awhile to get back with the answer but I got busy past couple days and allergies and a cold is kicking my butt.
At any rate I would like to thank everyone that sent in there answers and I have to say I learned some history about Italy. I was told 
that Italy did not become a country till 1861, now would this change my answer?  At any rate the question from last weeks POP QUIZ was...

Please tell me the name of the first classified meteorite to come from Italy?

The answer is Vago
Fell in 1668 or 1688 
and was the 1st
meteorite to come from
Italy with a classification.

I would like to congratulate Ben F for the correct answer and he will be winning a free Nakhla micro
