Luxury and fashion \u2013 <\/strong>First up this week was Pitti Uomo, <\/strong>closely followed by Milan\u2019s men\u2019s fashion week, so it comes as no surprise that these two events gave the foreign press cause to devote many column inches to made in Italy<\/em> brands. On January 15, Bloomberg Business<\/em> wrote about the streets of Florence being turned into temporary runways – Statement Coats Fill Florence\u2019s Streets at Pitti Uomo<\/a>, whilst two days later, El Pais<\/em> focused on the atmosphere filling the Milan air between one show and the next – Mil\u00e1n, d\u00eda 1: No es raro, es normal<\/a>, which it followed up with another piece on January 18 – Mil\u00e1n d\u00eda 2: Postre, caf\u00e9 y puro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Interior design was also the subject that interested Spain\u2019s Expansion<\/em> on January 19 in a piece on Flexform<\/strong> as a symbol of a made in Italy<\/em> brand that stands for \u201cquality, prestige and a smidgen of informality – FLEXFORM Interiorismo ‘made in Italy’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leading figures <\/strong>\u2013 Several of Italy\u2019s leading personalities featured in articles and interviews this week, with one of the \u201cmasters of Italian cinema\u201d, Ettore Scala<\/strong> occupying more column inches than others as many of the world\u2019s dailies marked his death by remembering his career. The New York Times<\/em> ran pieces on both January 19 and 20 headed – Italian Director Ettore Scola Dead at 84<\/a>, and he featured in three articles in Le Monde<\/em>, one on January 19 – Mort d\u2019Ettore Scola, ma\u00eetre du grotesque et des regrets<\/a>* and two the day after – Mort d\u2019Ettore Scola, l\u2019un des ma\u00eetres du cin\u00e9ma italien<\/a>* and Le cin\u00e9aste italien Ettore Scola est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9<\/a>*. On January 20 too, other headlines included: El Pais<\/em> – Muere Ettore Scola, cl\u00e1sico del cine italiano<\/a> and also El \u00faltimo gran maestro del cine italiano<\/a>,  whilst in France Liberation<\/em> and Le Matin<\/em> wrote, respectively – Eternel Scola<\/a> and  D\u00e9c\u00e8s du cin\u00e9aste italien Ettore Scola<\/a> whilst German papers Die Zeit <\/em>and Die Welt<\/em> said Regisseur Ettore Scola ist tot<\/a> and –<\/em>Italiens Star-Regisseur Ettore Scola ist tot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On January 15 Le Monde<\/em> wrote up a conversation with Guido Raimondi<\/strong>, the new President of the European Court of Human Rights – Guido Raimondi: \u00ab Face au terrorisme, la CEDH doit \u00eatre r\u00e9aliste <\/a>\u00bb<\/a>* and two days later the same paper published another interview, this time on the European job market, with Stefano Scarpetta<\/strong>, Director for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs at the O.E.C.D – \u00ab R\u00e9duire l\u2019incertitude sur les licenciements favorise l\u2019emploi \u00bb<\/a>*.<\/p>\n

It was food and wine, and in particular Italian chef Massimo Bottura<\/strong> that attracted the attention of the New York Times<\/em> on January 14, describing his Italianization of that most traditional of American classics, the hamburger – Massimo Bottura\u2019s Recipe for the \u2018Emilia\u2019 Burger With Salsa Verde and Balsamic Mayo<\/a>*.

Tourism<\/strong> \u2013 Despite the winter weather here in Italy, the foreign papers still had interesting suggestions for their respective readers. For the New York Times<\/em>, on January 14, it involved a trip to discover the Naples<\/strong> of popular author Elena Ferrante<\/strong> – Elena Ferrante\u2019s Naples, Then and Now<\/a>*),  whilst on January 19, BloombergBusiness<\/em> interviewed the artist Christo about his next work, to be created on Lake Iseo<\/strong> – Christo’s Latest Big Project: The Floating Piers in Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
