La Cina alla conquista dell'Italia
Report by Emilio Giuliana
The building of the former State Mint in Rome? Now it is run by the Chinese. Raul Gardini's palace in Ravenna? Now it is run by the Chinese. The Doge's Ball Palace in Venice?

The Paris government went into a rage, recalling the Italian ambassador for clarifications and effectively opening a diplomatic crisis. Il Speciale discussed it with the economist Ilaria Bifarini, author of the book The Colonists of austerity. Africa, neoliberalism and mass migration.
