The first position is represented by Corriere della Sera that doesn’t mention Calipari’s death in the title and puts this subject at the bottom of the article, while the main theme is “the presence of Italian troops wich will depend only on the request of Iraqis authorities and on the Coalition’s decisions” said Gianfranco Fini.
The latter, instead, is led by La Repubblica and La Stampa, wich dedicate more attention to the words Fini said about Calipari. The journal founded by Scalfari quotes Fini: “Our facts report doesn’t coincide with the American one, but this doesn’t imply any crisis between Italy and the Us; out cooperation will fairly go on”. The Turinois one remarks that: “Our vice prime minister stopped just for a while in front of Calipari’s monument where it’s written ‘Nicola Calipari, golden medal to military honor'”.
The communist newspaper l’Unità is the toughest: in the article there is just an adjective that sounds like a heavy condemnation for the States: “Our foreign minister inaugurated a monument to the memory of Sismi agent Nicola Calipari, slaughtered on march 4th by Americans soldiers near Baghdad airport”.
All this proves that two months after Calipari’s death, the affair is still perceived as a hot issue by politicians and public opinion, thus media can’t stop talking about it.
