Ray - I was teaching in a small town called Cagli, which is in the Marche region. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel to Venice, Florence and Urbino while I was there, and I spent a day in Rome. Italy is fabulous - I would recommend it to anyone who is considering a European vacation. The people are friendly, the food is great, the whole country is beautiful and the prices are pretty reasonable. I did not get a chance to try nocino, but I was introduced to the experience that is Limoncella. ;-)
As to journalism....all I can say is that it is changing. No one knows for sure what the future looks like - print, online, advocacy journalism, objective journalism, text, images, or IMs. Chances are that if one press outlet is supporting one perspective (UCD is a good thing) another outlet is supporting the other (UCD is the asshole developer).
