BEPPE SEVERGNINI

Last-minute addition! Falling into place at virtually the last minute is this very welcome return by popular Italian journalist and author Beppe Severgnini. The author of such delights as Ciao, America! and La Bella Figura: A Field Guide to the Italian Mind, he visits tonight with his most recent, Mamma Mia! Berlousconi's Italy Explained for Posterity & Friends Abroad (Rizzoli). This is a "droll" (New York Times), often amusing, yet at heart insightful portrait of a country that elected such a flamboyant, over-the-top leader to its highest office. (Not that such could ever happen here.) Beppe Severgnini, as one well-traveled in the world, is adept at explaining the world to Italy, and Italy to the rest of the world. From past visits here, we can also say he is a most gracious and entertaining interpreter.
