How To Make A Football Helmet Cake

Italy: yesterday, today, tomorrow e. ..

Who thinks that the current Italian political situation is just a brief and unhappy parentheses momentary, I dedicate this short but significant step interview with Giuseppe Laterza created by Edward and Barbara Albinati Bertoncin .

( Benedetto Croce) ... so he's publishing a translation of an extraordinary book (we reprinted in facsimile) Italy today, two British, Bolton King and Thomas Okey. A beautiful book that talked about everything, the church, the mafia, de the South, and so on. The beginning of the first chapter entitled "Politics and politicians" is extraordinary. It was 1901. I read: "One of the primi fatti che fermano l’osservatore della vita italiana รจ la confusione e la decadenza dei vecchi partiti politici. Essi hanno perso fede nei loro principi, nel loro paese, in se stessi. L’azione loro sembra poco meglio di una interessata lotta per raggiungere cariche pubbliche e di una cieca resistenza a forze che non sanno comprendere, assimilare, e pertanto temono”.
