Coffee on the market and all that jazz <\/strong>\u2013 Financial uncertainties have not dimmed the foreign press\u2019s interest in the Milan Stock Exchange. The Financial Times<\/em> reported that Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group (which produces Segafredo Zanetti<\/strong> coffee) is getting ready for an IPO of the next few months (July 18 – Massimo Zanetti Beverage appoints banks for Milan listing<\/a>).

An exceptional tourist<\/strong> \u2013 The usual summer stories last week included an exceptional journey, that of New York mayor Bill del Blasio<\/strong> who made a stop in the incredible Capri during his trip to Italy (L\u2019Orient Le Jour<\/em>,  July 24  – La Lamborghini Huracan d\u00e9barque au Liban<\/a>) as well as in his family\u2019s town of origin Sant’Agata de’ Goti<\/strong>, where he received a warm welcome (July 23  su Wall Street Journal<\/em>,- De Blasio Welcomed Home, Italian-Style<\/a>; New York Times – <\/em>A Celebrity\u2019s Welcome in Italy for de Blasio<\/a>).<\/p>\n

There were also other stories. El Pais<\/em> travelled to Ravello<\/strong> following in the steps of Wagner (July 19  – Wagner y el silencio en Ravello<\/a>), while the New York Times<\/em> went to Rome to see the Cinecitt\u00e0 World Theme Park<\/strong> which will give a new lease on the Hollywood on the Tiber (21 – Investing in Fantasy to Save a Fraying Reality<\/a>). In addition, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung<\/em> dedicated a homage to Siciliy<\/strong>, the land of vacation (July 22  – Du bist so hei\u00df wie ein Vulkan<\/a>), and the New York Times <\/em>did a taste test of Soave (July 18  – The Two Faces of Soave<\/a>).<\/p>\n

A Nibali win<\/strong> \u2013 On the way to the last stage to Paris, Vincenza Nibali<\/strong> gave an extraordinary performance and won the yellow jersey. His showing in the first stages of the Tour de France was reported in the sports pages of the international press, with articles on El Pais <\/strong><\/em>(18  – Ganar a la Nibali<\/a>), The Times<\/em> (July 19  –Vincenzo Nibali climbs clear and has a remarkable Tour victory in his grasp<\/a>) and Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em> (July 20  – Nibali Maintains Tour de France Lead as Kristoff Wins 15th Stage<\/a>).<\/p>\n
