compare and contrast

wit01montalcini_art_piece

This morning I compared 3 newspaper front pages. I leave you the comment.

a) Financial Times, european edition

“Germany ready to take steps to support eurozone” A photo of Peer Steinbrueck, very, very worried. Asked whether Germany would risk seeing the eurozone break up rather than take action he answered “Could you imagine anyone would be willing to put up with this? We would have to take action -There is an enormous amount of liquidity in the markets and we are seeing very large budget deficits”.

b) Les Echos, online edition.

This morning, a photo of streets on fire in the Guadeloupe. This evening “des Etats Generaux et 580 M Eur pour les DOM” and a new photo, Sarko sitting down with the DOM MPs, perusing papers and discussing measures with concern and concentration.

c) La Repubblica.

“L’addio di Veltroni: chiedo scusa” (Farewell by Veltroni: I’m sorry – if you want you can hum along “Hard to say I’m sorry” by Chicago)

“Riot in Lampedusa”, photo of the detention center in flames.

“Record audience for the Sanremo song contest – Patty Pravo’s nude look”.

After this, how do you give a meaning to the day?

I forked out 4 euro and bought the new italian version of WIRED. Because our neighbor Rita Levi Montalcini is on the cover. In the interview she says: “In every catastrophe there is the potential for an upside, still one must be able to spot it”.

    Hi,
    I would be grateful if you could please check who took the photo of Rita Levi-Montalcini on the cover of the Italian Wired. There must be a credit somewhere inside the magazine. Are there any other photos of Rita inside?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Barbara!
    thank you so much for your comment…I try always to remember to add credits on photos, and this time I totally forgot about it!
    The author is Albert Watson for Wired Italia.
    Indeed inside the magazine there are other 2 gorgeous portraits of Rita, plus one photo of her as a young lady.
    Ciao,
