I'm talking of course of the following sentence, present in all Italian press, about the recent corruption investigations: " These are personal and isolated cases... " He made this statement answering to a request by Bruno Vespa , the famous Italian journalist - known in Italy and worldwide for his ‘intellectual honesty’… - who asked an opinion on the allegations received by PdL colleagues Verdini and Scajola.

Stories and News No. 165 Italian Minister Claudio Scajola resigned. Sometimes it happens. Often it would be the correct thing to do when you are in such embarrassing situations. The same doesn’t happen frequently, but this time yes. Someone hints that what drove Scajola - the only man in the world that has a house paid by people he doesn’t know - to abandon the ministry was the coolness with which Berlusconi met him on Thursday.

Stories and News No. 162 Every day that passes I am convinced that Italy is truly the most paradoxical country in the world. Quite simply: aid workers are terrorists and warmongers are heroes, who talk about the Mafia maintain its power and who is enriched thanks to it is its bitterest enemy, who dares to dissent is a traitor and who ever changes his mind is a loyal person.
