Culture<\/strong> \u2013 Much of this week\u2019s cultural news has focused on opera, with the Washington<\/em> Post<\/em> reporting on the start of the new season at Milan\u2019s La Scala<\/strong> and the \u201cnew\u201d Traviata at the Opera di Roma<\/strong> based on a concept put forward by the designer Valentino and directed by Sofia Coppola (May 18 – La Scala\u2019s 2016-17 brings back Puccini, Muti<\/span><\/a>). Still on the subject of music The Guardian <\/em>featured an all-encompassing interview with the composer Ennio Morricone <\/strong>(May 14 – Ennio Morricone: \u2018I don\u2019t know the names of any pop musicians<\/a>\u2019<\/span>) whilst El Mundo<\/em> chose to dedicate an article to an Italian literary great, the \u201cdiabolic and divine\u201d writer, Gabriele<\/strong> D\u2019Annunzio<\/strong> (May 16 – Gabriele D’Annunzio, amor cannibal<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Style<\/strong> \u2013 Italian style  – design in particular – was back in the news again, with Le Monde<\/em> dropping in at the Bottega Veneta\u2019s<\/strong> \u201catelier of the future\u201d (May 12 – Dans l\u2019atelier du futur de Bottega Veneta<\/a>)<\/a><\/span> and the Spanish daily, Expansi\u00f3n, <\/em>published an interview with Pietro Lissoni<\/strong>, the artistic director of Boffi – De Padova, the luxury kitchen, bathroom and furniture brand \u201cas much admired as it copied\u201d (May 12 – <\/a>Piero Lissoni: el arquitecto sin WhatsApp que afirma que el pl\u00e1stico puede ser ecol\u00f3gico<\/a>)<\/span>. Interior architecture also featured in Bloomberg, <\/em>in a photographic piece all about the Milan home of Romeo Sozzi <\/strong>(May 18 – Inside the Home of the World\u2019s Most Expensive Furniture Designer<\/span><\/a>). An earlier article by the same press agency concentrated instead on the auto sector, in a review of the new, and \u201clong-awaited\u201d Alfa Romeo<\/strong> Giulia (May 14 – Alfa Romeo’s 510-Horsepower BMW Killer<\/a> <\/span>).<\/p>\n

Tourism<\/strong> \u2013 The approaching summer season means there is no shortage of articles on this sector. The Washington Post<\/em> rediscovered Milan\u2019s<\/strong> old trams (May 16 – 125 vintage trams evoke bygone era in Milan<\/a><\/span>), whilst Reuters<\/em> centered on the historic town of Cremona to find out about the challenges facing the producers of stringed instruments (May 16 – Italy’s violin-makers struggle to hit profitable note<\/a><\/span>), but it was the Tuscan section of the world-famous Giro d\u2019Italia that inspired el Pa\u00eds<\/em> to write about the most popular cycling trails in Chianti <\/strong>(May 16 – <\/a>Los favoritos pedalean juntitos bajo la lluvia del Chianti<\/a>)<\/span>. However, much further south, in Apulia, the New York Times<\/em> recommends a stay in a lovely 16th<\/sup> century farmhouse (May 12 – 8 European Hotels That Feel Like Home. Only Better<\/a><\/span>*).<\/p>\n

Food <\/strong>\u2013 This week much of The Guardian\u2019s<\/em> food section was taken up with its guide to Italian food. The English paper ran a piece on Eleonora Galasso\u2019s cookery book \u201cAs the Romans do\u201d (May 13 – Eleonora Galasso\u2019s Roman recipes: five Italian classics<\/span><\/a>), and in another piece it offers a few tips, on how to reduce the calories in traditional Italian dishes (May 13 – A lighter way to enjoy Italian recipes by Anna Jones<\/a><\/span>). It was Italy\u2019s iconic pizza, however, that was the focus on an article in the Wall Street Journal<\/em>, telling the story of the successful record-breaking efforts of some Neapolitan \u201cpizzaioli\u201d (May 19 – Italian Chefs Break World Record for Longest Pizza<\/a>)<\/span>.<\/p>\n
