...what if the fault doesn't lie with Italians' appetite for news? What if the problem is with what's on the menu? At a literary festival in central Sardinia last month, I had a chance to feel the public's dissatisfaction with what was on offer. During a panel on the media, when I observed that Italian journalists seem to write mostly for each other, for politicians, or for the pleasure of reading their own prose, the audience clapped its approval.

...Repent: La Repubblica reports that Berlusconi may sell his palatial properties in Rome and Sardinia, where the alleged trysts took place. The Prime Minister has already said a chunk of his August vacation will be spent near the decidedly less glamorous L'Aquila, continuing efforts to rebuild the city (and his image) after the April earthquake. Some have even suggested that he may make a pilgrimage to the revered Italian saint Padre Pio as a way to respond to Catholic criticism of his behavior. Can you say Santo Silvio? (See pictures of Padre Pio's saintly return...

...summit begins in Italy on July 8, it will undoubtedly garner a flood of attention for its host. But while Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was planning to bask in the results of his bold, last-minute decision to switch the site of the meeting from La Maddalena on Sardinia to L'Aquila, the central city still reeling from April's deadly earthquake, it is the stories of Berlusconi as a party guy that are capturing the imagination...
