Italy - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Italy Italy was a charter member of NATO and the European Union, and hence joined the growing political and economic unification of Western Europe, including the introduction of the Euro in 1999. Italy is well-known for its art, culture, and several monuments, among them the leaning tower of Pisa and the Roman Colosseum, as well as for its food (pizza, pasta, etc.), wine, lifestyle, elegance, design, cinema, theatre, literature, poetry, visual arts, music (notably Opera), holidays, and generally speaking, for taste. Modern Italy became a nation-state belatedly — on March 17, 1861, when most of the states of the peninsula and the Two Sicilies were united under king Victor Emmanuel II of the Savoy dynasty, hitherto king of Sardinia, a realm that included Piedmont. www.encyclopedia-glossary.com /en/Italy.html   (1297 words)

Rugby Union Ireland blasted the Six Nations Championship wide open yesterday with a comprehensive annihilation of Wales, who were in their first match under Mike Ruddock's successor, Scott Johnson. According to the Welsh Rugby Union, the reverse is true: the players felt they were being given too much authority and the coach was "too weak and abdicating his responsibility". As the Welsh Rugby Union's chief executive, Steve Lewis, nears the conclusion of his "Red Zone Roadshow", presenting the governing body's version of the Mike Ruddock affair to the rank and file, the fire-fighting continues. sport.independent.co.uk /rugby_union/index.jsp?service=rss   (4201 words)
