Our guidelines
The following are the basic criteria that informed our selection of articles:
- We select articles principally from the major national online newspapers and magazines, i.e., Corriere.it, Repubblica.it, Il Sole 24 Ore.it, La Stampa.it, L’Espresso.it
- We seek to highlight news that is current, but has a long lasting impact.
- We opt for articles that report on social and cultural life in Italy but with a grin and a soft irony towards the Italian lifestyle.
- Articles that focus on how the Italian language is changing make valuable contributions to language study.
- Even with sacred topics like food, we favor those with a less stereotypical perspective.
- Because we address an international audience we like to select articles capable of soliciting a cultural comparison.
- We seek out articles that underscore Italian excellence and cutting edge in technology, science and environmental protection.
