Milan. August 1st, 1995.  Political tension and division right across Italy. The country seems to be going from bad to worse and is more divided than ever before. It is a deep cut which worries Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, the Archbishop of Milan. "Italy"  he observes, "is like the woman who was cut up into twelve different pieces."

Your Eminence, how do you see the situation in Italy today, and how do you think it is possible to get around this impasse?....
