Definitive end to Italian cowardice myth

Talking of the Italian hostages in Iraq, Alessandro Cevese, foreign ministry flunkey

recounted a moment of high tension when one of the kidnappers tried to strip Mr Stefio of his wedding ring. The 34 year old had said he would sooner be shot.

“The kidnapper at that point replied: ‘Then, I’ll take you outside’ and Stefio [said] ‘No don’t shoot me outside. Shoot me in front of the other lads’”, Mr Cevese said.

There will, of course, be those of you you will suggest (a) that this is Berlusconi-ite propaganda, and (b) that returning to Italy without one’s wedding ring is a fate significantly worse than a shooting party, but you can stuff it.
