Guide to the best/worst Italian magazines - 1

One of the best Italian magazines is Cronaca Vera (no link existing, only from the best newsagents). The magazine is published on recicled paper, which, apart from making us feel environmental friendly, also contributes to its extremely cheap appearance. And this cheap appearance is on purpose, since the cover usually carries news such as "Panic in the night! The nurses in the night shift get arrassed in the changing room by the maniac of the 'mano morta'" or "Young and beautiful girl working in a beauty salon strangled with an iron wire by her African boyfriend who could not accept the end of their relationship" (see picture, the lady on the cover could either be the nurse or the girl of the beauty salon, assuming anyone cares about who she is). Please note the title taking half of the page in capital letters to stress the importance of the news.
This magazine is the cheapest source of amusement you can buy in Italy (apart from our politicians when they talk on tv).
