Weekly Roundup: February 24th-March 2nd

Good morning from Bologna Global Rights Exchange!

It's a good day here in London, the sky is clear and spring seems to be gradually approaching. 

The weekly roundup for today is full of opinion pieces I hope you will find interesting, and to whoever understands Italian, there is an interview to author Domenico Starnone I would particularly urge you to read. 

Wherever you are in the world I wish you a pleasant Monday and a buona lettura!
