Lower lending rates and long-dated bonds<\/strong> \u2013 Borrowing rates are falling and Italy started selling government bonds with long-dated bonds. The further decrease of debt costs was analyzed on January 11 in the German papers,  Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung<\/em> (Rom refinanziert sich so g\u00fcnstig wie lange nicht<\/a>) and Handelsblatt <\/em>(Italien kommt g\u00fcnstiger an frisches Geld<\/a>). In addition, the sale of a 15 year government bond<\/strong> was hailed on January 15 by several foreign papers (Financial Times<\/em> – Italy raises \u20ac6bn with long-dated bonds<\/a>; Wall Street Journal <\/em>– Italy Sells Longest Bond In Two Years<\/a>; El Pais <\/em>– Italia coloca 6.000 millones de euros en una emisi\u00f3n sindicada a 15 a\u00f1os<\/a>; Expansion <\/em>– Italia lanza su primera emisi\u00f3n sindicada de deuda desde 2010<\/a>; Handelsblatt<\/em> – Italien kommt mit 15-j\u00e4hriger Anleihe auf den Markt<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Turism, cuisine and fashion<\/strong> \u2013 The foreign press also ran pieces on Italian lifestyle. The Wall Street Journal<\/em> (January 17 – Italy to Outline Plan to Revive Tourism<\/a>) wrote about the government\u2019s plans to boost Italian tourism and Time<\/em> visited the chain Eataly<\/strong> dedicated to Italian delicatessen  (Time, January 13 – Italy, Fast & Slow: Behind the Unlikely Rise of Eataly<\/a>*). Finally, the Washington Post<\/em> focused on Milan fashion week (January 15 – Milan fashion: Tradition rules, with reinventions focusing on technology and details<\/a>),  analyzing the runway collections, influenced by tradition and technology. <\/p>\n
