Stefani has opened a new attack on Shröder in person. He stated that if Shröder had a sense of humor or some intelligence he wouldn't have responded the way he did.
And when asked if he thinks many Germans will cancell their stay in Italy he answered: "Only an idiot would do such thing"
Stefani legt noch einmal nach =>looking for an English link for our non-german speaking friends.
Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi has called for a line to be drawn under the dispute between Rome and Berlin, following the resignation of a minister who insulted German tourists.
Italy calls halt to war of words
Seems like Stefani didn't get the message (

prev. posting)
Rimini, isn't that where Amarcord was made?? Fellini's hometown?
I may be mixing it up with another place.
I think, my Latin would do better than this
Wonder if Prodi has been interviewed on this...
ossobuco
Prodi said nothing to this - publically in interviews, as far as I remember.
But a kind of commenatry (on a slightly [sic!]) different topic of him as expressed here:
Commission: no reaction to Berlusconi's new idea
to put it mildly, Prodi and Berlusconi's aren't friends.
Right. That's why I'd like to hear his comment...
Not that I am sure he should comment to the press in the heat of this scene. He has, in my opinion, more gravitas.
And Stefani told the German tabloid 'Bild': You can't print, what I think about him" [Schulz].
