Blogging the democratic revolution
Two days ago, I reported on my blog the news of the decision of current Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi to resign. Here’s the text I had written: The Left lost at the Senate over a vote on the Italian Afghanistan mission. Now it????????s up to the President of the Republic to accept the resignation…
The death of great Italian journalist continues to reverberate, oddly intersecting the entry of the pope into the struggle against Islamofascism, and some great essays have been written about her and her legacy. I’ve been really moved by them and present a small roundup of the best of this writing: Victor Davis Hanson has a…
Oriana Fallaci, freedom fighter Source: Mlle Glass’ photos The great Oriana Fallaci, a clear-eyed journalist and universal freedom fighter for democracy, has died.

I am writing this piece in response to the many allegations circulating in the Web regarding the Zidane-Materazzi case. One version has already been told, so I want the readers to read the other,too. There is an ongoing inquiry opened by the FIFA to find out what has really happened betwen the two players. In…
The Italian national team landed yesterday evening (Italy local time) at Pratica di Mare airport, Rome. They have been awarded by the Italian institutions (it was hard to me to see Prodi and company to award my players). Then, they walked in the streets of Rome on board of a bus, waving Italian flags and…
The last World Cup Italy won was on 1982 and I was only 3 months ! I am deeply believing that Italy can win the 2004 World Cup, regardless of whether it will be against France or Portugal! German newspapers such as Der Spiegel insulted the Italians these days, including headlined , before the match:…
Lots of cars here in Cagliari. Lots of people in the streets and at the beach. The situation is the same in many Italian cities, where people is going out to celebrate a well-deserved victory against Ukraine. Everyone can admit now that Italy today deserved to win. A vindication for the insults against the Italian…
After much suffering and a red card for one of the Italian players, Italy won 1 – 0 against Australia. Yes, it was due to a penalty kick, but our Francesco Totti scored just a couple of seconds before the end of the match! Below some photos of this much-suffered match! Before scoring: Getting ready…

Yes, because if I think my nation’s player, Zaccardo, own-goal, I can’t sleep tonight: Italy have to win against Czech Republic if it wants to continue to play at the World Cup. But I think that what counts the most at this WC 2006 are the fans. So, below are some of them: Yes, I…
For as much as I love the United States, I have to support my national team. It’s sport, guys. But I liked some photos I found on Yahoo/NewsPhotos/Germany , showing Italian and American fans joking and smiling with each other. Posters of Italian players…half naked!
I did my best to analyze the latest statements by Oriana Fallaci released at the New Yorker. I think you might be interested in reading my article at Tech Central Station here.
Polls have closed at 3 p.m. today. These elections were to elect governors of several Italian provinces,city councils and a regione, Sicily. First exit polls ( be cautious, we may recall how they were dead wrong in the recent political elections in Italy) are like the following: Election for the governor of Sicily: Salvatore Cuffaro…

I had long explained the way Mr. Romano Prodi won the Italian election. The slim margin with which he won offers, according to numerous international and italian analysts (from both the left and the right) little chances that his government will last 5 years. In an open violation of the democratic debate with the now-opposition…
This is the question many would ask themselves after reading the news of a new terror attack against Italian troops. This time the fact occurred in Afghanistan. Just a few weeks after the attack on the Carabinieri in Iraq, that killed 3 of them, now it’s the turn of the Italian soldiers in Afghanistan. The…
Italian communist groups helped kill 3 Italian soldiers in Nassirya I reported about here. An article on L’Opinione reports (in Italian) that anti-globalization and communist groups based in Italy, among which is the infamous “anti-imperialist camp” (that collecting “Euros for the Iraqi resistance”) coordinated with Islamic terrorists in Iraq to attack our troops in Nassiryiah….
On April 25, Liberation Day in Italy, Italian communist demonstrators shouted “10,100,1000 Nassiryahs”. Today they must be celebrating. Three Italian heroes have been murdered in a terror attack in Nassiryiah today. They’re not only victim of terrorists. They’re victim of those politicians on the Left whose first concern is not to heal the frail and…

They have completely forgotten that, if it was not for the United States and the Allies, the partisans couldn’t end the work. It’s to be reminded, however, that most partisans were not communists; many were Christian-Democrats…
