...quarter. Toast the start of your weekend at Pescheria Mattiucci, www.pescheriamattiucci.com, a tiny fish restaurant. The aperitivo hour, which rolls on until 10 p.m., sees hip Neapolitans wash down line-caught, sushi-style snacks with ice-cold white wine. Then step back in time at the majolica-tiled Osteria della Matonella, tel: (39-081) 416 541, where pasta alla Genoves (with veal and onions) and rum baba testify to 35 years of mama-licious Neapolitan cooking.

When leaders understand the nature of their followers, they can get away with an awful lot. My friend Beppe Severgnini, a columnist at Corriere della Sera, says Italians forgive Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's many--how shall we put this?--lapses in judgment because they think, He's one of us.

Montereale described her friend as a professional escort...
...course, by 11 a.m. on Monday, Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera had run a story on the alternate plan in the works: If the quakes become too angry, the heads of state will just meet in Rome (Wow, original idea! I’m really glad after two weeks someone finally came up with that). However, it’s 24 hours before the summit starts and the plan remains the same: Everyone get in your helicopter and get your very important tush up to an irritable fault line...
Indeed, the scandal has had political consequences. While Mr. Belusconi’s approval rating remains above 50 percent, his party, the PdL (Popolo della Liberta—People of Liberty) did not do nearly as well as predicted in the recent EU elections. Berlusconi had anticipated that the party would receive 40 percent of the vote, but in fact it only accrued 35 percent. Berlusconi himself has admitted that the scandal has damaged Italy’s reputation...
