Italy

Newspapers

Italy has just two national newspapers, La Republicca and La Stampa, both of which are available online. In addition, there are masses of fiercly independant regional newspapers, particularly those based in Milan. Italian media is notoriously politically-aligned, so it is worth viewing them with a slightly cynical eye.

Finally many cities have a free paper, which is generally quite good for gig listings and simple-to-read short articles - just look out for them at major transport interchanges.
