Titolo: What the NY Times thinks is important in Italy

The lead story on the front page of today's "New York Times" is a story,
with picture, about Veronica's letter to La Repubblica.
http://www.nytimes.com/
But you would have to dig very deep into the archives of the "Times" to find
any front-page mention of the serious issues confronting Italy.

Hold on! There was another piece of news about Italian politics,
actually...
"Berlusconi Is Hospitalized After Collapsing on Podium"

Another story about the "head" of state.

I've got the pun, but in our system the head of government is not the Head
of State!

Yes, something like 'The Two Gentlemen of Veronica', the former gallant with
other women, the latter passionate husband of his wife, stereotypes that
increased the legend of Italian lovers worldwide and to which the NYT
indulges, like other  media do after all, along with sole, pizza e
mandolino:
 a myth hard to die!
Cheerio


I didn't say "Head", I said "head".  :>)
When the airport expansion was the lead item on the Telegiornali, I searched
the NY Times, and could find nothing. There seems to be a dearth of coverage
when it comes to Italy.

 when it comes to Italy.
Still, I just love that today's headline ;)
"Berlusconi Flirts. Wife’s Fed Up. Read All About It."

I like this one, from the "New York Post":
«ITALY HEEL 'SORRY'
WIFE RIPS ROMEO BERLUSCONI»

You forgot 'e sfugliatelle.
But seriously, if you go on the New York Times web site and search for
Saviano, you won't find anything, which says a lot about the NY Times.

 Saviano, you won't find anything, which says a lot about the NY Times.
You mean Roberto Saviano? In this case I'd  have to confess that I know much
less about him than the NY Times except that he is actively sought for by
camorra for something he has written...

 camorra for something he has written...
Speaking of which, you might want to watch this video:

I forgot that you're also the guy who doesn't know who Consiglia Licciardi
is.  :>)

So the equivalent of a "fatwah" has been issued against Saviano. Over there,
would that be a "Va fa.."?

Very kind of you
Unfortunately it seems too long (39:09) to be digested
Thank you all the same 

 is.  :>)
My horizon is getting more and more narrow ... I hardly recognize you by the
signature

 Unfortunately it seems too long (39:09) to be digested
Why not watch half today and half tomorrow? I split it in two halves too for 
the same reason you seem now to hesitate.

Ay, the Chinese Wisdom!

 any front-page mention of the serious issues confronting Italy.
Another suspect sign of this minimizing Italian events comes today from the
charge of a U.S. soldier in the fatal shooting of an Italian agent in Iraq
two years ago. While the Italian media (of course), the BBC and the CNN
reported the news in the top stories, not even a word has been spent on  the
indiction by the 'prestigious' newspaper. Hmmm...
