Tyler Brûlé anchors this week's edition from the radio studios of leading Italian financial media group, Il Sole 24 Ore, in Milan. We survey the lay of the land with the paper's editor in chief, Gianni Riotta, who discusses education fixes, business reforms and Berlusconi's antics. Also on the line is Mel Young, president of the Homeless World Cup, which kicks off in Milan this week and we welcome fashion and knitwear designer Massimo Alba to the studio who reveals the unique approach behind his eponymous fashion brand's new store. Our Milan correspondent Ivan Carvalho is also in the studio and talks media, music and culture with editor Andrew Tuck and culture editor Rob Bound.

The Monocle Weekly is a mix of smart discussion, previews, field reports and feature interviews. From our studio in London and our bureaux in Tokyo and New York, Monocle's editors focus on the horizon and explore the looming stories within the five areas that define our editorial agenda: global affairs, business, culture, design and consumer culture.

Hosted by editor in chief Tyler Brûlé, The Monocle Weekly also offers fresh angles on stories in the current issue and delivers in-depth follow-ups from past assignments. Culture editor Robert Bound is a regular with his weekly playlist of artists established and obscure.

Editor Andrew Tuck pulls in contributions from our correspondents in far flung corners and moderates debates. And from Tokyo and New York editors Fiona Wilson and Ann Marie Gardner deliver features and perspectives from Asia and the Americas.
