Thanks Massimo. On how Cicero matters, I learnt a while ago that Cicero's name still appears in modern Italian; as in “Grazie per avermi fatto da Cicerone oggi.” Not an Italian word quite yet, it has to lose the majuscule but it will come.
Judy, yes, "Cicerone" is synonymous with a capable guide to something, usually tourist attractions. I bet you are right, it will eventually lose the capitalization.
