I forgot to mention that when the Italian reflexive is used as a
   passive (as in "si incanta") it is called si passivante.  This
   construction can only be used with the reflexive "si".
   Examples:
    "Si vendono molti pesci" :  Many fishes are sold.
   "Qui si parla Inglese":   English is spoken here.
   "La mostra s'inaugurer`a il mese prossimo"  :  The exhibition will be
   inaugurated next month.
   Best,
   Brad
