Italian PM outrages European Parliament (by saying a German critic of his policies "would be perfectly suited for the movie role of a concentration camp officer"). Ensuing European diplomatic row turns pathetic when Italian minister then disses German tourists and German Chancellor in retaliation vows not to holiday in Italy this year. Typical summer news story ;-).
