Of
Oliver Meiler, Rome
Nobody expected melancholy. But maybe a little more pathos? Mario Draghi leaves. Consumed and overthrown in an insanely unnecessary, incomprehensible summer crisis. But Rome feels sober. As if all madness fits into this crazy time. After all, La Stampa finds power for synthesis. “Vergogna” is the title of the newspaper on Thursday in the largest possible font on its first page. That’s the Italian word for shame. What is meant is politics, this whole circus.
