Starbucks was here for a few months then promptly closed. McDonalds is found in several piazzas with higher prices and better quality food -yet you pay for the ketchup. Italy is against letting to many foreign (including Spanish Zara) companies in. They hope to keep Italy -Italy.
Bush is here in Rome this week to urge Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to expand his military support in the Middle east and to visit with the Pope.... and the Romans were waiting Monday, ready to protest his presence here, the fact that 3,000 parking spots were vacated for his arrival and as well as the blocked cell phone signals he caused. 10,000 extra cops are in the city this week due to Bushs visity so as you can see Italy is not exactly Bushs best buddy these days.

It's amazing how we don't hear about things like this in the US. It just shows the media bias and how unobservant Americans can be!
