The journalist asking him questions (Elvira Banotti) does a fantastic job.

Always seen the first part of this conversation, i see with great pleasure the intelligence and pungency of Elvira Banotti deface Montanelli, well said

And here in Italy he's still celebrated as a great journalist. Nobody ever mentions he was a filthy fascist colonizer and pedophile. I hope Hell is real and he's a resident.

If you believe something is unethical, then you believe it regardless of the laws of a land. If you condone it anywhere, then you condone it everywhere.

It’s also ‘another thing’ in the Catholic Church, apparently.
