Ferrari races through the stock Exchange<\/strong> \u2013 A luxury brand that might be worth 5 billion euros. Last week, the foreign press focused on the decision by FCA to go public (October 29 and 30 in Bloomberg,<\/em> – Fiat Chrysler to spin off luxury brand Ferrari<\/a>; Les Echos<\/em>, October 29 – Fiat Chrysler va scinder Ferrari, le march\u00e9 appr\u00e9cie<\/a>*; Le Monde<\/em>, October 30 – Ferrari quitte Fiat et rentre dans le circuit boursie*r<\/a>). According to the Financial Times<\/em>, this is the most logical step to finance Fiat-Chrysler\u2019s 48 billion euro investment plan (October 30 – Marchionne takes \u2018most consequential step\u2019 with Ferrari spin-off<\/a>). And while the New York Times <\/em>jokingly explained that the listing is an event that many have been waiting for to own a little Ferrari without buying the Cavallino Rampante race car (October 29 – Finding It an Odd Fit, Fiat Chrysler Will Spin Off Ferrari<\/a>), the Wall Street Journal, <\/em>after reporting the story (October 30 – Fiat Chrysler Plans Ferrari IPO<\/a>*), emphasized that the evaluation of the Maranello-based firm will cover both its industrial activity as well as all the other business that have turned Ferrari into a lifestyle brand, starting with the theme park that was opened in Abu Dhabi (October 30 – Marchionne Aims to Sell Wall Street the Ferrari Life<\/a>*).<\/p>\n

Foreign investments<\/strong> \u2013 There was also interest in the foreign investments of Enel Green Power,<\/strong> which built a 100 megawatt wind farm in Mexico ( Bloomberg<\/em>, October 28 – Enel Green Connects 100-Megawatt Wind Farm to Mexico Power Grid<\/a>; La Jornada<\/em>, October 29 – Firma italiana complet\u00f3 un parque e\u00f3lico en San Luis Potos\u00ed<\/a>), and continued discussion of international capital in Italy, with Arab News<\/em> confirming the interest of Ethias in Alitalia<\/strong> (October 24 – Gulf airlines target Italy for expansion<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Art, cinema and music<\/strong> \u2013 The foreign press covered numerous cultural evants last week. The most popular event in the foreign press was the recent exhibition of the self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci<\/strong> at the Biblioteca reale of Turin with articles in the China Post<\/em> (October 30 – Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s self-portrait in rare public show<\/a>) and L’Orient le Jour<\/em> (October 30 – L\u00e9onard et les tr\u00e9sors du roi…<\/a>). There were also articles on the tribute of the Brazilian press to Pier Paolo Pasolini<\/strong> and the retrospective in Rio de Janeiro (Valor Economico<\/em>, October 24 – Um esp\u00edrito perturbador<\/a>; O Globo<\/em>, October  28 – Pasolini, ou quando o cinema se faz poesia e pol\u00edtica de seu tempo<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The cultural pages also reported on painting, with two exhibitions in London: one on the Italian avant-garde of the Sixties (Les Echos<\/em>, October 27 – Tornabuoni fait recette avec les artistes italiens<\/a>) and another dedicated to Giovanni Battista Moroni<\/strong>, one of the greatest painters of the 16th century (Financial Times<\/em>, October 27 – Giovanni Battista Moroni, Royal Academy, London \u2013 review<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The foreign press showed its interest in music with an interview with Paolo Conte<\/strong>, song writer and the composer of Azzurro, the most famous Italian song in the world (El Mundo<\/em>, October 27 – Paolo Conte: ‘No tengo Internet, yo vivo en mi mundo<\/a>‘). And an article in the New York Times<\/em> mixed music and art, explaining the secrets of the lute-making methods of Stradivari <\/strong>(New York Times<\/em>, October 30 – How Stradivari Came to Dictate Violin Design<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Tourism in Italy<\/strong> \u2013 As always, there was a great deal of interest in tourism. Tuscany<\/strong> was a popular subject, with articles about walking tours (Washington Post<\/em>, October 29 – Walking Italy: A picturesque way to see Tuscany<\/a>), and how to discover the region\u2019s loveliest areas with the help of new technologies (Le Monde<\/em>, October 28 – La Toscane dict\u00e9e par Google<\/a>).<\/p>\n

And while El Mundo<\/em> suggested stopping in Alba<\/strong>, Italy\u2019s destination for truffles (October  24 – Alba, la meca italiana de los truferos<\/a>), other media sources turned their attention to Rome, <\/em><\/strong>the perfect place to spend Christmas (L’Express, <\/em>October  28 – No\u00ebl en Italie: cr\u00e8ches vivantes, tradition et panetton<\/a>e), where it is also possible to admire the Sistine Chapel <\/strong>with new system of illumination  (El Pais<\/em>, October 30 – Nueva luz y nuevo aire en la Capilla Sixtina<\/a>). Finally, the foreign press found a new place of interest in Rome, Mussolini\u2019s air raid shelter at Villa Torlonia has been opened to the public (Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em>, October 25  – Mussolini air raid shelter opens to tourists<\/a>; El Pais<\/em>, October 27 – El b\u00fanker de Mussolini<\/a>; El Mundo<\/em>,  October 27 – En el refugio antia\u00e9reo de Benito Mussolini<\/a>).<\/p>\n
