I directed a piece of theater in Italy. We took nine fables from the town and we created a play.
Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy.
I couldn't settle in Italy - it was like living in a foreign country.
Moving from Wales to Italy is like moving to a different country.
I think we have a good team, but soccer fans will know that we're in a really tough group. The three teams in our group are really strong. The Czech Republic is a very good team, Italy is traditionally a powerhouse, and Ghana is one of the best teams in Africa.
You don't become a saint until you lead a good life whether in Tibet or Italy or America.
To this day the Arab influence is evident in southern Italy, northern Africa and, above all, in Spain.
I am not a newcomer, you know, so I want to be judged for what I did when I was prime minister last time in Italy and president of the European Commission for more than five years.
The problem of Italy is not really a question of age. Japan has an older population, and it is now in full economic recovery. The problem is that Italy is old in the structure of the society.
Italy is divided between us and them, rich and poor, north and south, young and old, employed and unemployed.
But Italy can only have any real influence on world affairs if it carries weight in Europe.
Italy have plenty of high-quality players. Newcomers need time to get adjusted to the set-up and the system of play. I'm very young, and although I think I have shown good quality in my international games, I realise that there are plenty of others competing for places.
The Vatican is a dagger in the heart of Italy.
Italy and Spain really are not my countries.
In Spain and Italy I would not have a life among the fans. Everyone wants to touch you, own you and approach you. I try to be as kind as possible to all my fans, but in those countries I could not do it. There they ask too much from you.
