When I moved to Italy ten years ago this was more or less exactly how my Italian professor explained the Berlusconi affect.

Johnson has created a complicity in rule-breaking in those around him. "No ethical leadership from the top… [increases] the likelihood of these things happening further down the chain from people who say 'well, the boss isn’t concerned about the rules'"

The 12 May 1985. The day Hellas Verona won that historic scudetto! The miracle season when Hellas Verona came from nowhere to win Serie A.

What Claudio Ranieri is doing with Leicester City has few precedents, but Osvaldo Bagnoli gave the people of Verona something similar in 1984-85

Why do Italian's write in such long sentences: a book I'm reading at the moment opens with a 44 word sentence followed by 47, and I've just read a sentence with more than 100 words, and I've no idea what it means! Isn't the perfect sentence supposed to be more or less 12 words?
