The Slow Food Diary. The Azzurri's message to Italy. Posted by Geoff Andrews at Sunday, July 09, 2006. Open Democracy, 9 July 2006. The success of Italy's football team in the world cup could inspire a renaissance in the country's public life, says Geoff Andrews. In Berlin, the unrestrained outpourings of joy seemed to be accompanied by new hope that the moment might open the way to healing the divisions of a polarised society. It is a measure of Juventus's status. The politics of football. Progress in t...
