Or, ignoring the bella figura, one can parse Italian political and economic shortcomings in a tone heavy on statistics and with a hint of scolding, the way a susceptible high-school teacher might speak of a seductive student.
Compact and easy to navigate, Verona remains one of Italy’s most underrated cities despite its picturesque center of cobblestone streets lined with medieval pink-hued buildings, well-preserved Roman sites and dozens of churches
Former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi called for the reconstruction of the Abruzzo region, which was hit by a devastating earthquake in April 2009, asked for the rebuilding to be carried out seriously.
Foreign tourists spent some 32 billion euros in Italy in 2012, the country's national tourism agency Enit said on Friday.
One of the oldest doctor's kit, believed to be more than 2,000 years old, will be on display in Florence starting next week.
Tonight will see Armani take over Rome's Plazzo della Civiltà Italiana (the Palace of Italian Civilization) for 'One Night Only'; a celebration of Giorgio Armani's pride at being Italian.
The Venetian and The Palazzo officially opened Carnevale, the summer-long event celebrating the festivals of Italy.On Saturday, Chef Mario Batali arrived on the red carpet to kick off Carnevale wearing a special Carnevale-inspired pair of his signature orange Crocs.
Minacciolo, the Italian interiors company, says its Mina kitchen is the ultimate accessory, but really it is an island unto itself — with cooktop, oven, dual dishwashing drawers, illuminated storage and refrigeration in a customizable package.
The Identification and Expulsion Center, a detention complex on the outskirts of Rome where illegal immigrants can be held for months before deportation, is not a prison. But the difference seems mostly a question of semantics.
The 2013 edition of the Italian wine sommeliers' guide Bibenda awarded the annual 'Oscar' to Sicilian producer Tasca d'Almerita's 2010 Chardonnay in the white category and Tuscany's Tenuta San Guido's 2009 Bolgheri Sassicaia as the top red, the sommeliers' association AIS said on Tuesday.

The textile and fashion industries produce millions of tons of waste every year, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum Scraps: Fashion, Textiles and Creative Reuse, is an exhibition presenting three women’s creative and sustainable, yet distinct, design approaches to the shockingly high human and environmental costs of textile industry waste. Three designers—Luisa Cevese, Christina Kim, and Reiko Sudo—working on three different continents, who put sustainability at the heart of their design practice. Each designer takes a very different approach to the millions of tons of waste generated each year by the textile and fashion industries, yet all share a profound respect for fabric scraps as repositories of raw materials, energy, labor, and creativity. Presenting the exhibition at Cooper Hewitt will expand public awareness of textile recycling and sustainability beyond the thoughtful use and conservation of precious material resources, to include the creation of skilled creative work and the preservation of local craft traditions. It will illuminate how a commitment to sustainability can spark creativity in new, unimagined ways. Scraps will feature a single project or concept from each designer and each installation will utilize fabric waste from a different stage of the manufacturing stream.
