Prime Minister Berlusconi gets some things right. Nothing like the central Italian paesi sperduti in which to hold yet another ruling elites freebie. If they reckoned on ligging another break in Italy for themselves, their squeezes, their entire travelling circus, they can put up with police barracks, hotels in Frosinone, and the dreadful July heat; with nowhere to go, (the only great city in the area having collapsed in the earthquake, so they can't do it any further damage), and nothing to do till they get all the way back to Rome. Except they'll be inside a red zone with great difficulties in passing through the barriers.
The Chinese, who arrived with hundreds of entrepreneurs and business owners in their entourage, have been given a terrfic welcome in the capital, met President Napolitano, honour guards, palaces, no doubt the Roman chefs (who famously will cook and eat anything that doesn't take them by the throat first) will have done them proud. President Sarkozy can stay in the most beautiful building in the world, Michelangiolo's French Embassy palazzo Farnesi, but for the rest?
They will be praying for after shocks and emergency evacuation plans to be put into operation. That'll teach Brown to hold a G anything in the East London marshes.
