So close! Jan #Brokken didn’t win the
@PremioStrega Europeo with 'La Scoperta dell’Olanda' — also the title of our literature program at Salone del Libro.

The prize went to Paul #Murray. Still, Brokken’s book is already a bestseller in Italy! #SalTo25

During the award ceremony at the 'Circolo dei lettori' in Turin this evening.

@mm-corriere-bot.bsky.social has mapped a walk in Amsterdam, highlighting locations from books by Dutch authors translated into Italian. "What a great novel, the history of the Netherlands" features in this newspaper ahead of #SalonedelLibro, where the Netherlands is the guest of honor. #SalTo25

Cardinal Aveline, considered a papabile in the next #conclave, was in my parish church today -his titular church, in Monti, Rome.

With him, dozens of journalists, including Diego Bianchi of @propagandalive.bsky.social, filming from one of the back pews.

Italy turns orange!
This week minister Veldkamp is in Caserta for the 🇳🇱🇮🇹 #VanWittelVanvitelli Dialogue on strategic cooperation, Europe’s competitiveness, addressing geopolitical developments. Minister Klever leads a mission on creative industries and yachting in Italy. @netherlandsmfa.bsky.social

Relations between Italy and the Netherlands are excellent. Last year, Minister Veldkamp visited his counterpart in Rome. Minister Klever had met Deputy Minister Cirielli at a high level.

Whether Carlo Verdone finds it 'very nice' that Fiat sells cars of the Chinese Leapmotor in the domestic market, I don't know.

Roberto #Benigni has just spent 2.5 hours on stage in primetime talking about the grandiose EU project, democracy and the dangers of nationalism.

Roberto Benigni redet gerade 2,5 Stunden in der Primetime auf der Bühne über das grandiose Projekt der EU, die Demokratie und die Gefahren des Nationalismus. So Statements würde ich mir ja öfters wünschen, auch in Deutschland

The liberal/ conservative Italian newspaper Il Foglio is publishing an issue today created entirely by artificial intelligence. Possibly a world first. #Italy #ai
