Remembering Carlo Giuliani in Berlin (video)
By :
Berlin - Wednesday July 20, 2011
Ten years ago Carlo Giuliani was shot dead by police at the G8 protests in Genoa, Italy. His death marked the escalation of a transnational struggle against capitalist globalization. Yesterday, anti-capitalists in Berlin remembered the tragic loss of the young militants life and vented their anger against a murderous system.
In the last weeks numerous stencils and posters announced a demonstration in remembrance of Carlo Giuliani. The posters stated explicitly that the demonstration would (...)

By :
Nick Squires - Friday November 5, 2010
Most Italians thought Silvio Berlusconi could not drag their country’s reputation any lower. But on Wednesday the sleaze allegations against the Italian prime minister plumbed new depths when a call girl claimed that his private jet was used to supply marijuana to sex parties at his villa in Sardinia.
Nadia Macri’, 28, has told investigators the billionaire premier paid her €10,000 (£8,738) for intercourse when she visited him at Villa Certosa in Sardinia last year and at (...)

TV news reader quits in protest at Berlusconi
By :
Michael Day - Thursday June 3, 2010
One of Italy’s top news readers has dramatically quit her job on state-funded television after claiming its coverage was biased in favour of the media mogul and premier, Silvio Berlusconi.
Maria Luisa Busi, who presented the flagship evening TG1 news show on the Rai 1 channel, reportedly told bosses what she thought of the programme’s editorial line in a frank letter pinned to a notice board.
Her abrupt departure at the weekend follows a series of clashes with TG1 editor (...)

By ELISABETTA POVOLEDO
MILAN — In an effort to heighten awareness about the contributions made by foreign workers to the Italian economy, the promoters of the first strike by immigrants in the country invited workers to stay home and to boycott shopping for one day.
Similar protests took place in other European countries on Monday (the initiative started in France and found supporters in Spain and Greece, as well). A comparable boycott, “A Day Without Immigrants,” (...)

GLADIO: THE SECRET U.S. WAR TO SUBVERT ITALIAN DEMOCRACY
By :
Arthur E. Rowse - Wednesday January 6, 2010
by Arthur E. Rowse
The program in Italy was aimed at the threat that communists might mount an insurrection or gain a share of political power through the ballot box. An insurrection was unlikely, however, since nearly all posts in the bureaucracy were filled after the war by solidly anticommunist veterans of Mussolini’s forces, with Allied approval.
During the war, most Americans considered themselves heroes who freed Western Europe from its brutal Nazi and fascist rulers. It (...)

By Ethan Sacks
A video suggesting that the attack on Silvio Berlusconi was staged has hit the Internet with enough force to be an embarrassing blow to the wounded Italian premier. An eight-minute YouTube video in Italian — "Was the attack on Berlusconi a montage?" and consisting of stills and video clips from the Milan incident — notched 500,000 hits in the first few hours after it was posted, London’s Daily Mail reported. Berlusconi was hospitalized with a broken (...)

Against the Reintroduction of Race Laws in Europe

To European democratic public opinion and the press that keeps it informed
Events in Italy have always – for better or worse – had an extraordinary influence on the whole of European society, from the Italian Renaissance to Fascism.
But, all too often, Europe has not become aware of these events in time. There is currently a great deal of attention in major European newspapers on some aspects of the crisis that has engulfed our country. But we believe that it is our duty (...)

Why Stock Markets are Collapsing
By :
chycho - Wednesday March 11, 2009
The stock market began as a means for companies to raise money and for “shareholders to invest in business ventures and get a share of profits.” At some point, it turned into a casino resembling a Ponzi scheme, which held true until 2008 when the Ponzi scheme collapsed.
The causes for this collapse are diverse. Some of its aspects and repercussions have already been discussed here, and will be discussed further in the future. If you would like to know how far the markets have (...)

Stop elite research now!
By :
COBAS UK - Saturday October 11, 2008
Research in universities across the globe is becoming more and more privatised.
This must be stopped because it will centre power in the hands of a few who will inevitably ask for the payment of very high university fees and will not give access to research which does not support their speculative interests.
Berlusconi in Italy is trying to privatise most of the public university research. This should be stopped!
Italian students and universtity professors are united in a "line of fight" (...)

It’s another balmy weekend on the beach in Naples. By the rocks, a couple soak up the southern Italian sun. A few metres away, their feet poking from under beach towels that cover their faces and bodies, lie two drowned Roma children.
The girls, Cristina, aged 16, and Violetta, 14, were buried last night as the fallout from the circumstances of their death reverberated throughout Italy.
It is an image that has crystallised the mounting disquiet in the (...)

It involves a former topless model and the Italian prime minister, and has all the makings of a risque joke.
But the story about Silvio Berlusconi and a glamorous female cabinet minister hasn’t left many people laughing.
In fact, model-turned-politician Mara Carfagna is now threatening to sue an Italian comedian who claimed she had performed a lewd act with the 71-year-old PM.
For a fortnight, the country’s newspapers had been buzzing with wild rumours that Mr (...)

The Italian premier’s penchant for a pretty face usually arouses nothing more than a snigger. But now it could land him in court. By Peter Popham in Rome and Claire Soares
by Leonard Doyle
For years, Italy’s perma-tanned 71-year-old prime minister has got away with acting like a sultan in his harem, and the Italian media, forgiving to a fault of private peccadilloes, has left him to it. He has laid siege to television eye candy, appointed some of the prettiest and least (...)

Salvatore Fiore - Tuesday January 8, 2008
On the 30 December the Italian newspaper "La Repubblica" cited that the Decreto Milleproroghe reform proposed by Fabio Mussi, Minister of University and Research and leader of the Sinistra Democratica party in Italy is a sort of Copernican revolution. But what Copernican revolution? This is a carbon copy of what researchers and academics in Britain are trying to get rid of!
The following is an open letter to Fabio Mussi
