Rule reminder

Italian international affairs journalism uses: diplomatic vocabulary (il vertice = summit, il trattato = treaty, la diplomazia = diplomacy, il negoziato = negotiation, le sanzioni = sanctions, l'ambasciatore = ambassador, il ministro degli Esteri = foreign minister, la Farnesina = Italy's Foreign Ministry), passive voice for diplomatic outcomes, and the full range of attribution/hearsay techniques for leaked or unconfirmed diplomatic information.
