TURIN, Italy For the Olympic grand finale, think Fellini. Picture 35,000 spectators sporting 35,000 red clown noses. Imagine original costumes from the Italian director's film The Clowns. Envision Italy's prime minister behind a mask representing angels and devils.
And, as a final surreal homage to the genius behind La Dolce Vita, throw in the singer behind La Vida Loca, Ricky Martin.
