As Palma, of Nicod -- where in Italy where you born, Palma? -- notes, double negatives are common in various languages. "C'e nessuno bello como te" I abridged from a song title. In Latin, there was no double negatives -- if the Pope indulges in one he is only being emphatic, and he was born in ---- Tedescolandia.
