The One Rule: No Italian Sources

There are excellent newspapers in Italy, and this is not one of them, nor a substitute for them. La Veduta is interested in a narrower and stranger question: what does Italy look like from outside?

So the rule is absolute. No ANSA, no RAI, no Corriere, no Repubblica. If a fact lives only in the Italian press, this paper does not have it. What remains is the country as the foreign correspondent files it — compressed, framed, sometimes clichéd, occasionally clearer for the distance.

We think that view is worth printing on its own. It is, after all, the Italy that most of the world actually receives.
