Often considered too low-brow, the Eurovision song contest, which unfurls this Saturday 14 May, is increasingly appreciated by European academy, who glean in its antics the emergence of a "New Europe".
Sober and incisive, "Vieni via con me" co-presented by anti-Mafia writer, Roberto Saviano, has set new ratings records in the land of Berlusconi. In the run-up to the last programme of the four episode series scheduled for 29 November, Italian television guru, Carlo Freccero, analyses the reasons for its success.
Time was when European tellies teemed with series and singers from other European nations. Nowadays, laments historian/journalist Nils Minkmar, even as European borders open up, European mindsets are narrowing.
