FT moves beyond Silvio

We were deeply concerned at Europhobe that the toppling of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi would result in some sort of drop in reporting on il bel paese. Luckily, Professore Prodi has managed to show the same sort of charisma that he displayed in his years in Brussels and hardly a day passes without Italy receiving some good mention in the international press. We were particularly grateful that such an erudite and sage publication as the Financial Times was able to cover Italy in a magazine cover story about “Naked Ambition” in “the land that feminism forgot.” Now that it has covered the rise of women in Italy, we look forward to future cover stories on football, pizza, and pasta reflecting its deep and thoughtful coverage of all things Italian. 

Unfortunately, it turns out that we could not resist including a picture of the gorgeous Thais Souza Wigger, one of the oppressed women mentioned in the article.
