Agony and the Ecstasy (where are you going my beloved Italy)

Where are you going my beloved Italy?
Where are we going too???

I don't Know.



but may be somebody knows.
I want to point out to you two interesting articles publsighed on newsweek.
The first is "Agony and the Ecstasy" (stealed the title :P for my post).
The second is "Farawell, Dolcevita?".

I hope these two pieces of writing can help you to understand more a lot of Italy.

this is a quote from Agony and Ecstasy:

"Yet for all this, many Italians feel that the country still has the potential—the creativity amid the chaos—to make a magnificent comeback if only … what? "I believe a lot of people are asking themselves the same question I ask myself," says Pino Arlacchi, a former member of Parliament and senator, and a leader of the anti-mafia fight in the early 1990s: "Why have we not succeeded in turning the page in this country?"

See you ;)
p.s. let me know what do you think about it.
