Luxury items and lifestyle: financial results<\/strong> \u2013 This is a time when many companies are announcing their yearly financial results and the foreign press showed an interest last week in luxury items and lifestyle. The Financial Times<\/em> reported on the leap up on the stock market of Moncler<\/strong> due to higher than expected sales (March 5  – Moncler shares power ahead as sales beat expectations<\/a>*), and Reuters<\/em> ran pieces on the future of Borsalino<\/strong> (March 5 – Italian hat maker Borsalino looks at options to keep going<\/a>) and Campari<\/strong>\u2019s reaching its margin goals Campari <\/strong>(March 10 – Campari hits 2014 gross margin goal as sales rise<\/a>). The British press agency also wrote about the good prospects of another group, Brembo<\/strong>, producing high end brakes for cars like Ferrari and Porsche (March 5 – Brembo sees 2015 sales growing, looking at M&A<\/a>). Instead, Le Monde<\/em>, while waiting for the yearly report of Ferragamo<\/strong>, ran a profile of Wanda, the Florentine family\u2019s queen mother and wife of the company founder, Salvatore  (March 9 – Wanda Ferragamo, la reine m\u00e8re<\/a>*).<\/p>\n

Culture<\/strong> \u2013 There was also interest in cultural events. The Financial Times<\/em> announced that post-WWII Italian art is in the spotlight in galleries around the world, with prices rising as a consequence (March 6 – The invasion of Italian art \u2014 from Tefaf to Art Basel Hong Kong<\/a>*). There were also articles on literature. El Pais<\/em> interviewed the writer Antonella Cilento<\/strong> (March 8 – Antonella Cilento: \u201cLa escritura es como el cerdo, no se tira nada\u201d<\/a>), The Sunday Times<\/em> studied the mystery of Elena Ferrante<\/strong>, the moniker of an author of great success \u201d (March 8 – The unknown great<\/a>*). and the  New York Times<\/em> announced the November publication of the newest book by Umberto Eco<\/strong> (March 9 – New Umberto Eco Novel to Be Released in US in November<\/a>*).  For theater, Le Monde<\/em> ran an article on the Servillo<\/strong> brothers, in France with their play \u201cLa Parola Canta\u201d (March 11 – Toni et Peppe Servillo, l\u2019un chante, l\u2019autre aussi<\/a>*). There was also interest in music with Franco Battiato <\/strong> taking his latest recording on tour to Paris and Barcelona (Liberation<\/em>, March 8  – Franco Battiato en odeur de synth\u00e9s<\/a>; El Mundo<\/em>, 10 – ‘Somos esclavos’<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Tourism<\/strong> \u2013 The foreign press was also full of recommendations for tourist destinations. Les Echos<\/em> turned its attention to the Expo<\/strong> of Milan, running a profile of Giuseppe Sala, CEO of the company organizing the exhibition (Liberation<\/em>, March 8 – Franco Battiato en odeur de synth\u00e9s<\/a>; El Mundo<\/em>, March 10 – ‘Somos esclavos’<\/a>). Then, there were more classic ideas. El Pais<\/em> recommended that its readers take a trip on the road throughout the Bel Paese (March  6  – Italia a toda prisa<\/a>). The Financial Times<\/em> wrote about the renaissance of the Basilicata, thanks to the selection of Matera<\/strong> as the European capital of culture (March 6 – Basilicata\u2019s renaissance<\/a>*), and the New York Times<\/em>, again in Lucania, suggested a visit to Metaponto <\/strong>(March 6 – Discovering the Ruins of Italy\u2019s Ionian Coast<\/a>*). Finally, The Times<\/em> went even further south with a guide to the best hotels in Sicily<\/strong>  (March 7 – The best hotels and villas in Sicily<\/a>*).<\/p>\n
