Reform and recovery <\/strong>\u2013 Signals of recovery are now seen in Italy’s banking system.

However, in order to consolidate growth, Italy needs to continue on the road to reform. That was the opinion of Diana Bracco<\/strong>, the president of Expo, who spoke about the situation in Italy and the prospects of the 2015 Universal Exposition in an interview with El Mundo<\/em>  (June 7  – ‘Espa\u00f1a ha hecho sus reformas, ahora ya nos toca a los italianos’<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Financial Times<\/em>, wrote about the Milanese brand Bodino<\/strong>, which will redefine the role of the jeweler in the 21st century (June 6 – Interview: Giampiero Bodino<\/a>*).<\/p>\n

And again in Milan, the Street Journal <\/em>visited the home of Giulia Molteni, manager of the family firm  Molteni & C<\/strong>, one of the best known companies of Italian interior design (June 6 – Tour Design Maven Giulia Molteni’s Milan Home<\/a>*). Finally, the luxury sector in the food market, with the German paper Die Welt<\/em> explaining the success of Eataly<\/strong>, a great recipe for the Italian economy (June 11  – Italiens Luxus-Verk\u00e4ufer verspricht Wirtschaftsboom<\/a>; Italiens bl\u00fchende Landschaften<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Style and engines<\/strong> \u2013 Style and the high end range of the Italian automotive industry were also in the news. The Wall Street Journal<\/em> reported on the growth of Maserati <\/strong>and its effect on the revenues of the Fiat-Chrysler group (June 6 – For Fiat Chrysler, Maserati is Tiny and Booming<\/a>*), while – on occasion of Ferrari<\/strong>‘s presentation of its new model, California T,  the Spanish paper Expansion <\/em>discussed the development strategy of the company, trying to balance growth and exclusivity  (June 6 – El dilema de Ferrari: crecer o no crecer<\/a>). Instead, Folha de S. Paulo<\/em> reported on a more classic topic, the Vespa, <\/strong>the topic of an exhibition at Sao Paolo, showing posters, ads and images depicting the history of the famous Italian motor scooter, a symbol of design in industrial culture (June 10 –  Vespa \u00e9 s\u00edmbolo da \u2018dolce vita\u2019 em mostra).<\/p>\n

Culture, tourism, sports \u2013 <\/strong>As always, the foreign press ran articles on culture and leisure time. The New York Times<\/em> described research by Italian scientists to restore and protect a self-portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci (June 9 – A Possible Way to Save a Disappearing Leonardo<\/a>*), and El Pais<\/em> looked at the creative event that is the Venice Biennale <\/strong>(June 6 – La Bienal de Venecia se rebela contra los arquitectos estrella<\/a>). In addition, The Times<\/em> narrated the many pleasures of a vacation in Positano<\/strong> (June 8 – One destination, two holidays: Positano, Italy<\/a>*), while numbers papers published reports on the Italian slant to the World Cup, with profiles and interviews of Andrea Pirlo<\/strong>, top player and captain of the blue-clad national team (Financial Times<\/em>, June 6 – Exclusive interview: Andrea Pirlo<\/a>*; New York Times<\/em>, June 11  – Andrea Pirlo Is Italy\u2019s World Cup Maestro*; The Times<\/em>, June 12  – Andrea Pirlo aims to be king of jungle<\/a>*).<\/p>\n
