Berlusconi and Veltroni's debate that never was
Silvio Berlusconi and Walter Veltroni, the leaders of the Italian centre-right and centre-left respectively, participated on April 1st in a televised debate in the lead-up to the legislative elections on April 13 and 14. Yet, the two men never met. Each one stayed in their own separate studio. The editorialist Concita de Gregorio decries the absence of genuine exchange and debate. "A relay without a baton handoff, where the men didn't even look each other in the eye... . Berlusconi didn't want to go face to face with Veltroni, and as a result the two men spoke in turn, one after the other, without a commercial break: a surreal scenario for the television studio. Never before seen on any television screen around the world ... . To top it all off, there was, at the same time on another channel, the Rome-Manchester football match: a good way to minimise the duel's impact."

Turin won its Olympic gamble
Concita De Gregorio writes about the success of the Turin Olympic Games, which IOC president Jacques Rogge described as 'truly magnificent'. "Turin has won, in two weeks: it has shed its image as an industrial, grey, sad town. As confirmed by TV journalists the world over, the single-company [Fiat] town is a thing of the past ... Turin has proved that to win, you do not always necessarily have to be young and beautiful. You win as well with the face you have, with the weariness that comes from work."
