I think the prurient interest in her sex life would be the same anywhere in Italy outside of Milan.



I think the Italians in general, and regardless of location, have the same prurient interest in Knox's sex life (plus the victim's) as Americans do with Tiger Woods' sex partners. The Italian press is simply less puritanical about discussing the details. Speculation about sex games, satanic rituals and "loud, slovenly Americans" with "loose morals" amped up the already charged atmosphere.
