A red banner hangs off the stone face of Palazzo Corvaja. Three letters, a circle, and taobuk.it printed small at the bottom. Under the ficus trees to the right, a broadcast van in the livery of the Gazzetta del Sud group has its awning out and its cables run across the paving. A reporter stands in the open with a microphone and a sheet of notes while the cameraman frames him against the crenellations.
