(English will follow)
Ancora una volta la Newsletter di Dom Serafini (www.domserafini.net) ospita un intervento a favore di un’attività di servizio pubblico per la nostra comunità.
In questo caso si tratta della presentazione di “US Italia Weekly” un nuovo settimanale diretto da Stefano Vaccara. Il seguente comunicato stampa é stato redatto da Letizia Arios dello staff di “AmericaOggi”.

“US Italia Weekly” is the first weekly—in English and with national circulation—focused on Italy and its relationship to the United States in the fields of politics, culture, economy, science, and current affairs.
Directed by Stefano Vaccara, the new weekly aims to reach millions of American readers, Italian and non-Italian alike, who are unsatisfied with the quality of the information available to them in English. It offers at the same time an American perspective on Italy and an Italian perspective on America.
The first issue contains articles by Stanton Burnett (CSIS, Washington), Danielle Gardner, Giancarlo Mazzucca (Quotidiano Nazionale), Sergio Romano (Corriere della Sera), Alberto Pasolini Zanelli (Il Giornale), and Vittorio Zucconi (La Repubblica). It will be enriched with illustrations by Monica Incisa andMatteo Pericoli. The topics covered include: Church-State relations in Italy; Hillary vs. Condy in the “impossible match” for the White House; and an interview with conductor Riccardo Muti after his farewell from the La Scala opera house of Milan.
“US Italia Weekly” will provide news analysis, investigative reports, in-depth stories and columns written by a group of some of the most authoritative Italian and American journalists and pundits. It brings together authors from various walks of life and representatives of different political orientations.
Their comments will deal not only with Italy and the United States, but also with other parts of the world.
    The chair of  the “US Italia Publishing Corporation” is Mariuccia Zerilli-Marimò, and the executive vice president is Giampaolo Pioli.
    “USItalia Weekly” is located in New York on the 59th Floor of the Empire State Building (350 Fifth Avenue). It is printed in color and will have correspondents from throughout the United States. It will come out on Sundays as an insert in America Oggi, and will be sold at newsstands for the rest of the week at the cover price of $1.50. The web version will be available on-line starting October 30 (www.usitalia.info).
    “USItalia Weekly” will be presented at 6:00 pm on Friday, October 28, at the Casa Italiana of New York University (22 West 12th Street, New York, tel. 212-998-8739). The speakers will include Stanton Burnett, Alberto Pasolini Zanelli, and Vittorio Zucconi.
