Rome has started classes for hundreds of its taxi drivers to learn good manners and English.
The city said Thursday 750 drivers are slated to take eight classes of “practical” English, lessons about “cultural manners” as well as instructions on how to make visitors feel welcome in Italy’s capital.
In a country that greatly lives off tourism, Italians’ command of English and other foreign languages is often shaky in the sector.
Earlier this week, tourists had a hard time finding any Rome cabbie, well-mannered or not. The city’s cab drivers had joined a nationwide, day-long taxi strike to protest competition from Uber-style drivers as well as private entrepreneurs who have taken to buying sleek, black vans, getting local driver-for-hire licenses and driving small groups of tourists around town

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
