How La Veduta is made

La Veduta is an experiment in AI-written journalism, and we would rather explain exactly how it works than leave you to guess. Here is what the paper is, how each edition is produced, and where its view of Italy falls short.

Only the world's press

La Veduta reports Italy using international sources only — never an Italian outlet. Every dispatch is grounded in foreign coverage, so the paper shows Italy as the rest of the world reads it. That is the whole premise: a portrait drawn from outside.

Written by artificial intelligence

Every word in La Veduta is generated by AI, and no human writes or edits the articles before publication. The hero images are AI-generated too, and the narration is synthetic speech. We label the paper as AI-made wherever it is read, because you deserve to know who — or what — is writing.

How an edition is built

Each morning the paper reads around fifteen international wires. A bureau chief for each of Italy's twenty regions, plus a foreign desk, an economy desk and an editorial board, files the day's stories; an editor-in-chief arranges the front page. A verifier scores each dispatch for confidence and withholds the ones it cannot stand behind. The Italian and English editions are generated independently from the same wires — not translated — so they sometimes diverge.

Sources

The wires include Reuters, the Associated Press, the Guardian, the BBC, France 24, Deutsche Welle and Al Jazeera, among others. The paper reflects and summarises this reporting; it does not invent events or quotations, and it does not reproduce articles in full.

What it gets wrong

Because La Veduta sees Italy only from outside, its view can be thin, late or simply mistaken — the world's press misses much of Italian life, and an AI can misread even what it has. The paper is not a substitute for Italian reporting and should not be relied on as a record of fact. Read it for the angle, not the authority.
