The purity of language, a long term concern in France, featured in a piece in Le Monde<\/em> on November 30, focusing this time, however, on the language of Dante and the petition started by Accademia della Crusca<\/strong> #dilloinitaliano to put an end to the proliferation of English words and expressions corrupting the Italian language – Anglicismes: l\u2019Italie dit \u201cBasta cosi !\u201d<\/a>*.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle<\/strong> \u2013 The continuing interest in the Italian way of life resulted in more articles on the subject this week, with the magazine produced by Le Monde<\/em> describing, on December 2, how Ferrari<\/strong> is currently creating a stir both on the financial markets and at classic car rallies – Ferrari affole les ench\u00e8res<\/a>*<\/p>\n
