Subject: Italian far left daily now on-line


Readers of Italian language publications on this list will be pleased to hear 
that the Italian newspaper *il manifesto* is now available every day via the 
World Wide Web (http://www.mir.it).

*il manifesto* is a useful source of news and opinion from the Italian left, 
expressing a range of viewpoints from the ex-communist PDS through to the 
Greens, feminists, Communist Refoundation, the self-managed social centres and 
even (sometimes) autonomists. It likewise spans the spectrum of 'left' 
industrial opinion, from the Essere Sindacato faction of the main left union, 
through to the 'alternative' unions (CUB, SLAI), the 'self-organised' rank and 
file groups and even (sometimes) the anarcho-syndicalists - although the 
paper's own centre of gravity inclines towards Essere Sindacato. The paper 
also runs regular feature articles on politics in Europe and elsewhere. Its 
music and cultural pages are always entertaining, and its cartoonist Vauro is 
very savage and to the point.
