Meet Mara Carfagna, alias “Mara La Bella” (“Beautiful Mara”) Italy’s hot new minister for equal opportunities.
Wicked rumours circulating in Italy have it that she and a certain forgetful billionaire are bosom buddies. Ah, those all night ministerial cabinet meeting sessions must be hell.

Stop reading, start speaking
Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.
By the way, the previous video used in this post mysteriously became ‘unavailable’, and another video has bitten the dust too – but I’ve just added another – keep watching to see how the honourable Mara once was.

All opportunities are equal, but some are more equal than others. Isn’t that how the old saying goes?!
