For a few short hours this week, Italians got a chance to be each other's Big Brother as their government allowed Internet viewing of absolutely everyone's tax returns, including those of politicians, soccer players and TV personalities.
Siena seems to be every Italy connoisseur's pet town. More than a sum of places to see, Siena itself is the sight. Grab a gelato, join in the evening stroll, and end up at the town's glorious red brick main square, Il Campo. Lean up against a pillar as the setting sun plays games with the colors of the stone and the sky. At twilight, first-time poets savor that magic moment when the sky turns into a rich blue dome as bright as the medieval tower that holds it high.
My public relations agency, NettResults, based in Irvine, Calif., and Dubai, employs 18 people speaking a total of nine languages. Through a partner, we work with 58 other agencies in 26 countries. So I was excited to test three new language-translation software suites: If they worked, I could e-mail clients myself and cut down on the pricey human translators we use every day.
Police made a string of arrests across Europe Tuesday, detaining 20 people suspected of involvement in the recruitment of suicide bombers, Italian police said.

Its German-speaking residents call the Italian town of Castelrotto "Kastelruth." Tucked away in the Dolomites, the Alps of northern Italy, it's my favorite hideaway in the Italian "South Tirol." This region offers Italy a strong dash of German culture.
