'Crisis in Italy, malaise in Europe'

FRENCH PAPERS, Weds. 27/02/13: French papers largely focus on the Italian election and how Europe is reacting.

Le Figaro takes a closer look at Egyptian tourism after the fatal hot air balloon accident. And Libération profiles a steamy kiss-and-tell about former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
