I’ve been having an interesting discussion over on Twitter via my @newsfromitaly persona.  The question I posed was ‘Who’s your Italian of the Decade? Someone who has raised Italy’s image positively throughout the world.’

Those who have been mulling this question over, Italians and non-Italians, have come up with an interesting list.

Here are the names, with links to Wikipedia entries, so far.

• Roberto Saviano,

• Valentino Rossi,

• Carlo Azeglio Ciampi,

• Luciano Paverotti,

• Guido Bertolaso, – Wikipedia entry in Italian

• Enzo Biagi,

• Mike Bongiorno,

• Rita Levi-Montalcini,

• Beppe Grillo

• Gino Strada

Do you know who these Italian are?  I’m not convinced that those not familiar with Italy will know them all.

One of the people on the list is my own choice, but I’m having second thoughts.

Any other nominations more than welcome.
