.Hello from Milan,
. Do you mean the Italian translation ... ? In Italy it usually means something
. attached to a document, I guess the English translation is "To enclose".
I assume:
Allego means to enclose or attach to a document
Allegro means quickly (or the design of one of the worst vehicles Leyland
Cars ever made)
So that explains it - it could be either, or both. What a marketing ploy!
The back-room boys must have spent months thinking of that one. So subtle
too! Everyone thinks it is a typo when in fact it is a devious attempt to
win marketeer of the year.

She was full of wisdom, my Grandmother.
