Quote

Italy will never be a normal country. Because Italy is Italy. If we were a normal country, we wouldn't have Rome. We wouldn't have Florence. We wouldn't have the marvel that is Venice.

For a century longer, Rome still retains its outward form, but the swarming nations are now in full career.

I always thought 'Rome' would change things for me, that people would finally understand what I do.

The value of 'Made in Italy' must necessarily be up-to-date. This is the philosophy that Italia Independent has embraced. We decided from the outset to do away with stereotypes and attune ourselves to the extreme pace, to the incessant metamorphoses of the globalized world.

I love Italy and I say I am from Italy wherever I go.

But Italy can only have any real influence on world affairs if it carries weight in Europe.

Italy is a divided country without a center.

Rome is one of my favourite cities in the world.

Rome has grown since its humble beginnings that it is now overwhelmed by its own greatness.

I hope that my government can help change Italian mentality.
