Please click on the link below to see a beautiful video made by Italy’s Minister of Economic Development and presented at the Davos Forum with the objective of debunking some clichés about the country.  The subtitles accompanying the video are in English.  The clichés:  pizza makers, latin lovers, party addicts, gesticulators, eternal children, food enthusiasts, etc.  The video shows some of the extraordinary contributions that Italy has made to international economic development.  This video appeared in Corriere della sera online on January 23rd, 2015.  Please excuse the commercial at the start.
