Anyone understanding Italians?

63 governments in 62 years, I think.

And now they voted Berlusconi - again.

Italy will not profit from that. But berlusconi surely will.

Any news on contaminated pasta, or why do they do this...?

Democracies generally get the government they deserve.

I have a friend whose grandfather came to the United States from Sicily. He's fond of what he claims is an old Italian saying: "Get two Italians together and you immediately have three new political parties."

He's also fond of complaining about Roman Empire stories made by and starring the British. He says if you want to see Italian political history properly portrayed, watch The Godfather.

And Italy isnt a very unified nation state, its made of very different peoples and cultures.
