This would be too limiting, I am afraid. While I tend to agree
(on Dec 2nd, 2003, at 16:11 - it may change any time!) that
the VMS is of Northern Italian origin in the broad sense, it may have
been actually produced anywhere else, where the Italian 
Renaissance became popular. And it certainly was very 
much in vogue in Prague or Cracow - the latter especially
after Bona Sforza became the queen of Poland and brought
artists, architects, diplomats etc. with her, even the
vegetables one puts into soup - leek, parsley, carrot and
celery, which are to this day collectively called "Italian stuff" 
in Polish.

Best regards,

Rafal
