The discrete father of Nutella<\/strong> \u2013 The most common news from Italy in the foreign press last week was doubtless the passing of Michele Ferrero<\/strong>. There were numerous articles about the Piedmont businessman, discussing his discrete existence and legendary inventions, from Nutrella to Kinder eggs. His unique story made a sort of Willy Wonka in the flesh, as various papers compared him to the Roald Dahl character famous for his chocolate factory.<\/p>\n

Not only the English language papers wrote about him (Financial Times<\/em>, February 15 – Nutella creator Michele Ferrero dies at 89<\/a>*; Wall Street Journal<\/em>, February 13 – Michele Ferrero, Maker of Nutella, Dies<\/a>*; New York Times<\/em>, February 15 – Michele Ferrero, Pioneer Who Gave the World Nutella, Dies at 89<\/a>; Time<\/em>, February 15 – World\u2019s Richest Candy Maker and Nutella Founder Died on Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a>; Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em>, February 14 – Michele Ferrero, Owner of Nutella Confectioner, Dies at Age 89<\/a>) Reuteurs<\/em>, February 14 – Michele Ferrero, owner of Nutella empire, dies at 89<\/a>; Washington Post<\/em>, February 17 –The father of Nutella was a \u2018real-life Willy Wonka\u2019<\/a> The Times<\/em>, February 15 – Michele Ferrero<\/a>*). The death of Ferrero also touched the French press (Le Monde<\/em>, February 16  – La mort du milliardaire Michele Ferrero, inventeur tr\u00e8s discret du Nutella<\/a>*; Les Echos<\/em>, February 16 – Michele Ferrero: la disparition de \u00abMister Nutella\u00bb et apr\u00e8s\u2026 ?<\/a>; Liberation<\/em>, February 15 – Ferrero, la p\u00e2te repose<\/a>; L’Express<\/em>, February 16 –  Mort de Michele Ferrero inventeur du Nutella<\/a>), Germany (Suddeutsche Zeitung<\/em>, 14 Schokoladenk\u00f6nig Michele Ferrero ist tot<\/a>) and Spain (El Pais<\/em>, February 15 – Muere Michele Ferrero, el creador de Nutella y de los huevos Kinder<\/a>; El Mundo<\/em>, February 15 –Fallece Michele Ferrero, propietario de Nutella<\/a>), and in in Lebanon (L’Orient le Jour<\/em>, 15 – Le p\u00e8re de la Nutella n’est plus<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Italians in the world<\/strong> \u2013 There were also articles in the foreign press about famous Italians living throughout the world. They included the rebel physicist Carlo Rovelli<\/strong>, whose latest book was reviewed by Le Monde (<\/em>February  17 – Carlo Rovelli, physicien rebelle<\/a>; interviewed by Aspen on May 15, 2013, Physique quantum, peinture et musique classique<\/a>); Michele Mariotti<\/strong>, in New York to conduct at the Metropolitan Opera (New York Times<\/em>, February 13 – Michele Mariotti to Conduct at the Metropolitan Opera<\/a>) and Marina Kundu, <\/strong>an Italian-Indian professor, the first woman to direct the Hec Paris Business School (Financial Times<\/em>, February 15 – Women in Business \u2014 Marina Kundu<\/a>). The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, published an interview with designer Alessandro Sartori<\/strong> (February 13 – Berluti\u2019s Alessandro Sartori on Great Style and the Apple Watch<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Tourism and culture<\/strong> \u2013 As always, the foreign press gave its readers suggestions about places to visit in Italy. The Sunday Times<\/em> wrote about the spectacular Carnival of Ivrea<\/strong> (February 15 – A spectacular Battle of the Oranges’ citrus clash in Italy<\/a>) and again gave its readers a list of the best of Italy, with suggested cultural events of 2015 (February 18 – The best of Italy 2015<\/a>*). The English weekly explained how the Belpaese is now a destination for people from abroad seeking real estate bargains, even more than in nearby France (The Sunday Times, February 16  – Italian property: the best bargains<\/a>). The Financial Times<\/em> also wrote about real estate deals, traveling to Val d\u2019Orcia<\/strong> to wrote about the signs of recovery of the residential market (February 13 – Tuscany\u2019s Val d\u2019Orcia bucks downward trend of Italian property<\/a>).<\/p>\n

There were other reports, one from Cremona by the New York Times<\/em>, which reported on the secrets of the best violins constructed there (February 16 – Sweetest Violins Explained: Holes Fill In Blanks<\/a>) and another from New York, which people are waiting with bated breath for the exhibit of masterpieces of Donatello<\/strong>, rarely seen outside Italy. (Wall Street Journal<\/em>, February 12 – \u2018Pumpkinhead\u2019 Meets New York Art<\/a>).<\/p>\n
