Men\u2019s fashion, from Pitti to Milan<\/strong> \u2013 The foreign press turned its attention to the reflectors on the Florence and Milan catwalks, and two events: Pitti Uomo<\/strong> and the men\u2019s fashion shows in Milan. The first articles ran on June 19 and covered events in the area of Palazzo Vecchio where, as the New York Times<\/em> stated that it is impossible to avoid fashion (June 19 giungo – Fashion Is Unavoidable at Pitti Uomo<\/a>*). Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em> added that the the best dressed event of the year was an occasion for a direct lesson in (June 19 –  Nine Style Lessons From the Best-Dressed Event of the Year<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Along with high end collections such as Moschino <\/strong>(New York Times<\/em>, June 20 – At Moschino, Jeremy Scott Lightens Things Up<\/a>*), there were other fashion and cultural events, from the exhibit \u201cIl Signor Nino\u201d dedicated to Nino Cerruti<\/strong> (New York Times<\/em>, June 19 – Nino Cerruti\u2019s Stylish Life, Told Through His Clothing<\/a>*) to the new hours of the Uffizi<\/strong> and other museums in the city (Washington Post<\/em>, June 20 – Uffizi and other Florence museums to be open late Saturdays<\/a>*).<\/p>\n

And as Pitti closed and the attention moved to Milan, papers like the New York Times<\/em> wrote about the trip on the special Frecciarossa, conceived to unite the two capitals of fashion, carrying operators, buyers and the international press. (June 19 – A Train Links Fashion Capitals, but Divides Passengers<\/a>*).<\/p>\n

The stories from the Milan runways, where the papers reviewed the recent collections, were more classic (Washington Post<\/em>, June 21 giguno – Tim Robbins takes in Emporio Armani as Fashion Week opens<\/a>*; New York Times<\/em>, June 21 giguno – Versace, Bottega Veneta, Zegna: Conjuring a Consumer\u2019s Style<\/a>*; New York Times<\/em>, June 23 – From Ralph Lauren to Giorgio Armani, a World View<\/a>*), commenting on men\u2019s fashion overstepping the gendre boundaries (New York Times<\/em>, June 22 – Prada and Gucci Advance the Gender Blur<\/a>*; Washington Post<\/em>, June 23 – De Niro lights up Armani front row as menswear goes feminine<\/a>*; El Pais<\/em>, June 23 – Jaque a la hombr\u00eda (y otros desaf\u00edos de la pasarela de Mil\u00e1n)<\/a> and attraccting big stars like Robert De Niro (Washington Post<\/em>, June 23 – De Niro lights up Armani front row as menswear goes feminine<\/a>*).<\/p>\n

The runways also gave the foreign press the chance to visit Milan. Both Les Echos<\/em> (June 22 – Milan: o\u00f9 sortir pendant la Fashion Week ?<\/a> *) and Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em> (June 19 – Milan Guide: Highlights for the Hungry Business Traveler<\/a>) published guides for fashion lovers and hungry business travelers who reached the Madonnina spire of the Milan cathedral. Businessweek <\/em>also published a photo spread on Milan\u2019s happy hour (June 14 – It\u2019s 5 O\u2019Clock Everywhere: Milan Street Style <\/a>).<\/p>\n

Lifestyle: design, culture and travel <\/strong> – As always, the foreign press cast an eye on Italian lifestyle. There was great interest in the design of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia<\/strong> luxury sedan that the house of the biscione is about to relaunch in the U.S. (June 24 on Financial Times<\/em> – Alfa strives for beauty and profitability<\/a>*, Wall Street Journal<\/em> – With New Luxury Sedan, Fiat Chrysler Looks for Rebirth of a Brand<\/a>*; New York Times<\/em>, – Alfa Romeo Unveils Flagship Sedan as It Eyes US Market<\/a>*; Les Echos<\/em> – Alfa Romeo veut faire son retour avec la Giulia<\/a>; Expansion<\/em>, June 24 – Alfa Romeo Giulia: “meccanica delle emozioni”<\/a>) and the special Maserati<\/strong> designed by Ermenegildo Zegna <\/strong>(Expansion<\/em>, June 18 – Maserati Quattroporte y Ghibli by Ermenegildo Zegna<\/a>).<\/p>\n

There was also interest in the Italian cultural scene with the New York Times<\/em> introducing the Spoleto Festival of the Two Worlds <\/strong>(June 24 – Italy\u2019s Annual Spoleto Festival Gets a Boost From Botero<\/a>*), and tourist destinations in the Belpaese, with The Times\u2019<\/em> rediscovery of Basilicata <\/strong>as a new destination for real estate investments in villas and country homes (June 19 – Why smart money is heading to Basilicata<\/a>*). Finally, Le Nouvel Observateur<\/em> (June 19 – Italie: des phares bient\u00f4t transform\u00e9s en h\u00f4tels<\/a>) reported on the project presented by the state real estate office to transform 150 lighthouses along the Italian coast into hotels.<\/p>\n

Wining and dining<\/strong> \u2013 Italian cuisine always takes pride of place in the foreign press. Some articles covered the Guiness Records pizza at Expo<\/strong>, over 1.5 km long km (Liberation<\/em>, June 21 – Une pizza de 1,5 km couronn\u00e9e par le \u00abGuinness\u00bb en Italie<\/a>; New York Times<\/em>, June 20 – 60 Pizza-Makers Create Nearly Mile-Long ‘Pie’ in Milan<\/a>*), and others reported on the combination of food and fashion, with Fendi,<\/strong> the fashion, about to open its first hamburgheria in Spain (El Mundo<\/em>, June 22 – Llega la hamburguesa Fendi<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The agrifood business is also news, as seen in the Reuters<\/em> and Les Echos<\/em> reports on the offer of Ferrero <\/strong>for the English group Thortons  (June 22 – Ferrero to buy UK chocolate maker Thorntons for $178 mln<\/a>), The Times<\/em> (June 22 – Thorntons licking lips at \u00a3112m Ferrero approach<\/a>* and June 23 – Chocolat : Ferrero jette son d\u00e9volu sur le britannique Thorntons<\/a>*)<\/p>\n

In England, Italian food goes arm in arm with cinema and \u2013 thanks to the initiative CinemaItaliaUk (Wall Street Journal<\/em>, June 22 – Italian Cinema in London: The Focaccia & Movie Combo Gains Ground<\/a>) – the British press also wrote about Italian wines and the documentary Natural Resistence by American filmmaker Jonathan Nossiter<\/strong> (The Times<\/em>, June 19 – Natural Resistance<\/a>*; Financial Times<\/em>, June 18 – Natural Resistance \u2014 film review<\/a>*).<\/p>\n
