The Diaz Case is Closed: 25 Officers Condemned, None Will Be Jailed
11 years after the police raid at the Armando Diaz High School, a shelter for activists and demonstrants during the 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa where over 80 people were injured, Italy’s Court of Cassation found 25 officers guilty of the offenses to the civilians, many of which were sleeping in the school when the raid began. The Statute of Limitations however decrees that most of the crimes are status-barred. Top-rank officers will however be suspended from service for 5 years, making the sentence historical for Italian justice.

Southern-Italian Americans and the 99% vs. 1% American Class Dichotomy
“A picture is worth a thousand words”
Clearly, the accompanying picture captures the reality of the class character of American’s current political economy; i.e. great masses of people who had no say in government/economic decisions are suffering the consequences of those decisions. They have lost jobs, pensions, health insurance, homes, and even gone to jail. At the same time the 1% who made the decisions, leading to the horrendous consequences for 99% of the people, got and still are getting rich and richer.

Prandelli wants more time to work with Azzurri
The Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC) is seeking to take advantage of the Azzurri's fine showing at Euro 2012 to create more space for the national team during the regular season. Azzurri boss Cesare Prandelli is trying to use an attractive, attack-orientated passing game but his ability to bring this in has been hampered to some degree by the relative lack of time he gets to spend with his players.
Emboldened Monti 'to stay in office through spring 2013'
Following a successful European Union summit on the euro crisis, an emboldened Mario Monti told the Italian Senate Tuesday that he hoped to see greater political interaction with Europe during his full tenure as premier. "In a few months, by which I mean through the spring of 2013 while our government is still in power, we hope with ever more optimism to see more interaction between Italy and Europe," said the former EU commissioner, who took over a government of non-professional technocrats amid a peak in the debt crisis in November that forced Silvio Berlusconi out of office.

No matter the outcome of this final match, Italy was undisputed protagonist of this championship. Remembering the past inglorious performances at 2010 World Cup nobody would have expected that the Italian team could grow so much within a few years and arrive so easily to the Final of Euro 2012.
Grazie lo stesso, Azzurri!
Non ce l’hanno fatta, ma siamo comunque tutti con loro, a dispetto di quegli italiani che esultavano ai goal spagnoli, noi veri “fratelli d’Italia”, anche nella sconfitta restiamo uniti ed entusiasti: a due giorni dalla finale su facebook si vedono ancora foto e frasi di ammirazione verso i nostri azzurri, a Roma alcuni display degli autobus di linea recano ancora la scritta “GRAZIE ITALIA”.
Antiquated Renaissance City-States built walls around their cities, while Southern Italy led Europe into nation-state era
Scholar ‘par excellence’ Barbara M. Kreutz writes: “Southern Italy has been largely ignored by most non-Italian historians of medieval Europe…they typically glance south only briefly to consider the Normans, and thereafter have largely concentrated on developments from Rome northward (“Before the Normans” p. xxiii)”. Further, I would argue that such neglect of the history South of Rome is not limited to “medieval Europe” or “non-Italian historians”.
