Thus La Pittura Colta: the revenge of late De Chirico on modernism. A decade ago, nobody wanted the historicist kitsch that Giorgio de Chirico, the master of metaphysical painting who became the laureate of Fascist taste, produced after 1925. Today his work goes for big prices and is assiduously promoted. It is therefore not surprising that the Biennale should devote several rooms to him. However, the qualities of La Pittura Colta go far beyond, or below, De Chirico's fussy homages to Rubens, Titian or Fragonard. Its exponents, such as Carlo Maria Mariani, Stefano di Stasio or Omar Galliani...
This is the most bitterly disputed provision in the entire bill. Some civil liberties activists fear that the demand for documentation constitutes a step toward a fascist-style system of national identity cards.

...OLYMPICS ARE to survive, we must depoliticize them.

...legendary Hell's Angels spent the past decade in limbo. According to the O.S.I.T., the grungy motorcycle gang cleaned house, kicking out heroin-addicted deadweights, streamlining its chapters and sprucing up its psycho-fascist image. The tattoos, beards and beer bellies are still there, but the bikers have softened their death's-head emblem and dropped kinky regalia like decorative wings denoting various sexual feats. Says Johnson: "The Angels are 25 years ahead of other gangs. They went from a loose-knit bunch of guys to an organized crime family...
