Joining Della Terza will be Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes, visiting professor of comparative literature and of romance languages and literatures, Brown University professor Franco Fido, and University of Rome professors Giulio Ferroni and Augustino Lombardi. Della Terza said all the participants were personal friends of Calvino...
Readers of dozens of newspapers in the U.S. and elsewhere may have been puzzled last week at the premiere appearance of a new syndicated columnist: Pope John Paul II. Rome was not amused. A spokesman for the Vatican press office, Monsignor Giulio Nicolini, denounced the so-called column, which in fact was a hodgepodge of writings by John Paul on apartheid and other topics, as "inadmissible." No one, stated Nicolini, could claim exclusive, commercial rights to selections from John Paul's pronouncements. - The column was to be the first in a series of John Paul's statements compiled by Alfred...
...baroque of his native Naples to Tantric symbolism. It is full of occultism, tarot, necromancy, devils, Sabbats and pallid sexual grotesquerie. It always looks hasty. It is heavy on the orifices: eating, coupling, defecating; the mood varies from mysterioso rhetoric to voyeurism.

Efforts to end the deadlock continued through the week. The breakthrough came in a final 16-hour bargaining session led by Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Andreotti. The agreement called for a transition period of seven to ten years, allowing the economically backward Iberian countries to adapt to the Community's policies promoting the free movement of workers, capital and manufactured goods...

Having promised that his nation would campaign against Star Wars "at the top of its voice," Gromyko did precisely that in person in Western Europe. During a three-day visit to Rome, he reportedly warned Giulio Andreotti, his Italian counterpart, that U.S. renunciation of its space defense plan was "absolutely essential." Moreover, Gromyko's performance in Rome was merely the opening shot in a propaganda campaign against Star Wars that seems likely to grow even shriller than the "peace" campaign of the early '80s, which was aimed at preventing U.S. deployment...
