Verona, Romeo and Juliet town, just hosted Vinitaly (April 3-7), the largest wine show in the world. Thousands of exhibitors came from more than 30 countries and about 150,000 visitors appreciated guided wine-tastings, presentations and conferences about the best wines in the planet. Here, few clues about Italian red wines: Sangiovese is one of the most common wine-grapes cultivated in Italy. You can see this kind of vineyard, vigneto, in all the area that goes from Romagna to Campania. Sangiovese is the pride of Toscana. From this variety derive such wines as Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti, Nobile di Montepulciano. In the North, in Piemonte, we find Nebbiolo vineyards from which they produce also the great Barolo. In the same area, most of the hillsides are covered of Barbera vines, considered one of the classic red Italian wines. (April 9, 2008)

For everybody he's Maniche, but the pronunciation of this pseudonym is incorrect. Even the very Atlético Madrid footballer, currently playing on loan for Inter Milan, fed up of rectifying it, decided to go for it. Nuno Ricardo Oliveira Ribeiro, born in Lisbon, received his nickname after Benfica's 1980s legendary Danish forward Michael Manniche. And in Danish, the nickname should be pronounced.

Henri Beyle, the famous French writer chose as his penname Stendhal. Yes, as you hear it: French pronunciation, not German. In spite of what is commonly believed, it’s not certain that he borrowed his pseudonym from the German city of Stendal in honour of Johann Joachim Winckelmann, an archaeologist born there. According to some Stendhal scholars, the name is the anagram of Shetland, the Scottish islands. A place Stendhal loved very much. At a certain point, anyway, even Stendhal himself didn’t know how to pronounce properly his name, that’s why the French way prevailed.
