Sex, Lies and Dvds

Posted 10-30-2009 at 03:00 PM by burntbythetuscansun (Burnt by the Tuscan Sun, The True Story of Living in Italy)

History has just been made: An Italian politician just went down for his sexual picadillos, in what is a very first for this country. I mean, we’re talking about the place that gave us Caligula, Popes with 17 kids, Caesar & Cleopatra and then Marc Antony & Cleopatra, and Emperors gifting sumptuous villas for their (very open) mistresses. It was the Italians who remarked upon seeing photos of Gary Hart on the ‘Monkey Business’ with a pretty blonde (who was not his wife), that he most likely...

Happy International Pasta Day!

Posted 10-25-2009 at 09:40 PM by burntbythetuscansun (Burnt by the Tuscan Sun, The True Story of Living in Italy)

Win For Life

Posted 10-02-2009 at 10:36 PM by burntbythetuscansun (Burnt by the Tuscan Sun, The True Story of Living in Italy)

The Lottomatica people just announced this terrific new lottery game, with three winners on the first day alone garnering 4000 euro/month for 20 years (let's just say, we hope the lives of the Win For Life winners don't come to an abrupt end in around that time -- not that that wouldn't make a good thriller plot).
But then, I think the term was used just to coin a phrase, and I wonder, how many of Italy's main players -- those aging seniors (and even a lot of youngsters) really know what...
