Pride and disgust
Someone (I don't remember who) said that Italy is a country that can make their citizen proud and disgusted within the space of 100 metres.
No definition could have been more appropriate on a grand springtime day like today, when you wake up to the smell of flowers, almost burn in the heat of the sun (gee! it's hot out in the balcony!) and then open your Opera browser (but you'll be forgiven if you use Mozilla) to find the following pieces of news:
Afghan Christian given asylum in Italy,
and
All-male kiss an offence.
To put it another way: pride and disgust.

non hai mai baciato tuo padre? fratello?
Ah, the media spotlight! It would be interesting to find out how many millions of euros are spent each year on trials which are only there to fulfill the need for prosecutors to feed their egos. Remember Guariniello?
