Short post this, really to highlight an interesting piece by Catherine Gegout on the Nottingham Uni politics blog about the new Italian president Sergio Mattarella.
For all those who thought Italian politics had no chance of ever not being mired in corruption - Gegout notes that Italy is the most corrupt state in the EU - the choice of Mattarella seems to mark a turning point. His election as president by parliament also represents another piece of anti-Berlusconi manouevring by current prime minister, Matteo Renzi. Well worth heading over to the article and getting a bit of quick immersement in Italian politics.
