Rule reminder

Italian newspaper headlines use: (1) bare nominalisation without article or verb: 'Crollo in borsa', (2) nominalisation + colon + result: 'Accordo raggiunto: i mercati reagiscono positivamente', (3) past participle used as adjective/verb: 'Rinviato il voto', (4) no auxiliary or conjugated verb when possible. Article bodies use nominalisation to compress complex events and maintain narrative speed.
