Bill is in Rome at the American Academy and got to engage in one of his favorite pastimes: wondering what residents of the country he is visiting think about us Americans and what they think about their own country. He got the chance to sit down for that very discussion with one of Italy’s best-known journalists. In Italy, Maria Latella is a superstar. She's like an Andrea Mitchell or a Diane Sawyer. Maria Latella is an author, columnist, radio talk-show host and TV anchor. She doesn't hold back and you might be surprised at what Maria Latella has to say about problems facing Italy. And worries that Italians have about politics in the United States.
