[edit] Charateristics
The main characteristic of Il Foglio (meaning in Italian "The sheet") is to be formed by an only sheet of paper (like it used to happen in newspapers in the 19th century) with a summary of the most important news of the day and analysis on them. Recently the width of the newspaper has grown with inserts, extra pages that are published on the newspaper especially on Saturday.
Il Foglio is one of the few Italian newspapers completely readable on the internet for free.
[edit] History
It was founded on 1996 by journalist and politician Giuliano Ferrara, after he left the direction of the magazine Panorama.
[edit] Politics
Il Foglio is a newspaper near to the Italian right wing and the Vatican.
The Western Anglo-Saxon conservatism can roughly considered its political allegiance. Especially the journal strongly supports the Bush Administration (and in general American foreign policy) from 2001 and spreads in Italy the ideas of those intellectuals often called neo-conservatives. It often features editorials from American newspapers, especially from editorial page of Wall Street Journal. It also strongly supports the Catholic Church in topics like bioethics and battle against relativism and Israel in its foreign policy in Middle East.
Il Foglio can also be considered pro free market in Economics.
