Legislation on Internet web sites

Friday, October 26th, 2007 · italiano

I don’t like to talk about politics. I’ll try to stick with the facts, then.

There has been a lot of moaning about the bill on publications announced by the Italian Government (no English there, sorry) on requiring any blog and Internet journal (in law language, “any website with a purpose of information, education, dissemination or entertainment“, Art. 2, Par. 1 of the above mentioned law) to subscribe to a national register (Art. 6 and 7 of the same law), as well as to name an editor in chief responsible for the information published.

60th Government of the Italian Republic

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007 · italiano

As we all know, Italian governments don’t last long. Here is then our modest proposal for the new Italian government, a government in 3D: durable, determined and, most of all, strong (well, the third D got lost in translation).

According to the typical Italian chauvinist tradition, there won’t be too much room for women. As a matter of fact, there will be only one, but look at which seat she’s got!

Update (23.2.2007 11:10): Talks are still on going, possible modifications (and addition of ministries) are expected in the following hours

Update (27.2.2007 22:17):  Despite useful and fruitful consultations, the President of the Italian Republic has decided not to sack the present government. And that’s a pity, if he had read what kind of government we had built up, maybe he would have chosen otherwise. Therefore our government will go underground. We like darkness anyway.
