Sunday and Monday cives Romani will go to the polls to elect a new mayor. The candidates are Francesco Rutelli, a vice-premier in the outgoing government of Prodi, the noblest Romano of them all, and Gianni Alemanno who belongs to Silvio Berlusconi’s Center-Right coalition.In the midst of a heated final debate on TV, Rutelli launched this bombshell, thinking to score big: Tu, caro Alemanno, dipingi la nostra citt cupa, nera, come se fosse il Bronx.Vergogna forbids me from translating. But rest assured: he’s not praising my home borough.Mayor Bloomberg take notice. This is the same guy who brought the mighty Met to its knees and reclaimed the purloined pottery. Come va finire?
