<shudder>

That's not Saltimbocca alla Romana.
(a) forget the cheese
(b) use very thin slices of prosciutto (di Parma)
(c) forget the flour.
(d) remove the veal and keep it warm _before_ you deglace with wine
(e) no, don't evaporate the wine
(f) veal under the grill _after_ it has been browned ?

etc, etc.
I haven't bothered to check the measurements after reading the recipe.

Cheers,
