"Only In Italy" is a daily news column that translates & reports on funny but true news items from legitimate Italian news resources in Italy. Each story is slapped with our wild, often ironic, and sometimes rather opinionated comments. And now, for your reading pleasure, a sample of today's edition:
Latin Teacher Shocks Italian Government With Berlusconi Translations
Rome - November 13, 2009 - A Latin teacher in southern Italy who had students translate phrases about Premier Silvio Berlusconi caused a furor on Friday when the story received front-page coverage in a right-wing newspaper.
Reported in a daily owned by Berlusconi's brother, Angela Di Nanni's exercises referred to trials facing the premier after an constitutional court ruling last month quashing a law granting the premier immunity from persecution.
"Silvio Berlusconi will be called before judges," read one of the passages.
"Berlusconi is accused of corruption and fraud, but says he will not resign," read another.
The news article described Di Nanni as "a political militant" and accused her of "using a dead language to insult the premier".
The article concluded with a plea for teachers "not to contaminate the classics with their political anger".
But the principal of the school where Di Nanni teaches, Luciano Gigante, said she had no such intention.
"Di Nanni was just trying to get some of her more difficult students interested in the lesson," he said
The principal explained that the exercise came from a website popular among teachers that offers Latin versions of top news items.
"The students also translated a piece about the death of Michael Jackson," Gigante said.
"This is as all just a tempest in a teapot".
Local education officials called an emergency meeting after the article came out to decide whether the translations called for disciplinary action.
You see, sometimes, you have to motivate these Italian kids to strive for academic success (If they're not motivated, they simply vote with their smelly feet). And what better way to motivate the little nincompoops than with Latin and Italian politics?
"(Porca vacca!) Hey Mamma! I'm having a hard time translating this crap!"
Latin Homework Assignment: Translate the ramblings of a chuckle-faced Prime Minister:
1. "There are only about 100,000 people in law enforcement, while there are millions of beautiful women... Women have to be defended." (When asked by reporters about a proposal to deploy 300,000 troops to fight crime following a series of sexual assaults in Rome and other cities.)
2. "Italy is now a great country to invest in...Today we have fewer communists and those who are still there deny having been one. Another reason to invest in Italy is that we have beautiful secretaries." (During a visit to the New York Stock Exchange in 2003, he touted the benefits of doing business in Italy.)
3. "I trust the intelligence of the Italian people too much to think that there are so many 'coglioni' around who would vote against their own best interests." (He decided to insult his own fellow citizens by making this statement less than a week before parliamentary elections in Italy.
