Cari Amici,

Below are four useful sites for news about Italy in English. 

I have found them invaluable sources for the news segment of my radio program 
("Sacramento Italian Style," Saturdays 10 a.m.-noon Pacific Time; 
www.sacramento.org/voice).

Hope you will find them helpful, too. I suggest bookmarking them all.

(1) I'm not sure who is in back of this site, but it is quite good. 
Home page has a lot of useful links, best of which is the column "Search in 
the Web" which gives you quick ties to news stories from many sources:

(2)This is the online version of Italy Daily, the supplement of the 
International Herald Tribune distributed in Italy. It is a collaborative 
effort of the IHT and Corriere Della Sera, Italy's top-selling daily:

(3) This is news with the slant of the National Alliance Party, which is 
usually described as far right, but is probably more left than the US 
Democratic Party:
