The US fast-food chain told AFP Monday it was claiming 17.8 million euros ($19.65 million) in damages after the city rejected an application to open an outlet in the historic Piazza del Duomo, one of the most visited places in Europe.McDonald's said the suit was being filed with the administrative court, which arbitrates in goveance disputes in Italy. The firm gave no other details.Florence's centre-left mayor, Dario Nardella, tued down McDonald's application in June, in a decision that was confirmed the following month by a technical panel in charge of preserving the city's ancient heart."McDonald's has the right to submit an application, because this is permitted under the law, but we also have the right to say no," Nardella told the city council, saying he wanted to support The Local...

Funeral halted after corpse mix-up in Naples

He passed away from the injuries in Naples' Don Bosco hospital on November 2nd, and his funeral was scheduled to take place on Monday moing. But while the family waited in the local church, one of the undertakers - who knew Baiano personally - uncovered the hospital's error. He went to collect the corpse from the Federico II university hospital, where the autopsy had taken place, in order to transport it to the church. The only problem was that the procedure had been carried out on the wrong man. The undertaker immediately noticed something was wrong, local paper Cronaca Flagrea reported. "My employee asked to go down into the mortuary, despite the fact that hospital staff continued to The Local...

Italian priest blames earthquakes on gay unions

Father Giovanni Cavalcoli is known for his hardline views. Photo: YoutubeAn Italian priest has said the recent earthquakes that have shaken the country, killing hundreds and leaving tens of thousands homeless, were "divine punishment" for gay civil unions, eaing the Vatican's wrath. Father Giovanni Cavalcoli, a theologian known for his hardline views, made the Idea on October 30, the day central Italy was struck by a 6.6-magnitude quake -- the most powerful to hit the country in 36 years -- according to Italian media. It was the third major quake in the same region in just over two months. Cavalcoli said on Radio Maria that the seismic shocks were "divine punishment" for "the offence to the family and the dignity of marriage, in particular through civil unions". The radio station distanced itself from his views and late Friday the Vatican issued a stinging rebuke, saying the idea of a vengeful God was "a pagan vision" dating from "the pre-Christian era".

Mayor calls in ghostbusters to investigate small Italian town

A small town in Cremona, northe Italy, has called in a team of ghostbusters to suss out any spooky goings-on in the town's public buildings. Of particular interest to the Italian Society of Paranormal Research, also known as Silent, was Ostiano's local theatre, which is housed in a 16th century-castle.The ghost-hunters also spent time looking at the cellars of the local library, filming both locations with special cameras at nighttime. The results have not yet been analysed, so it's too soon to say if the town of 3,000 (living) souls is also home to any supeatural beings.  But the search for ghouls has already ruffled a few feathers, with 45-year-old history teacher Carlo De Carli telling local paper La Provincia di Cremona: "There is no scientific proof, and I'm scandalized that in 2016 an administration wastes time with such nonsense." But mayor Lorenzo Locatelli insisted that giving the group free access to public buildings was justified. "They are not looking for ghosts, but The Local...

This Italian created a violin with strings made of spider silk

Luca Alessandrini with the violin. Photo: London & PartnersAn Italian student's violin using spider silk was the winning entry in an award for innovation in London, celebrating the work of inteational students in the English capital. Luca Alessandrini, a post graduate student at Imperial College London, created a violin using spider silk and resin - which you can see in action in the video below. When you play the violin, the vibrations of the silk create a unique tone, and Alessandrini says the material allows more precise customization of the acoustics than other mode fibres do. His invention won him the £10,000 top prize in The Mayor of London’s Inteational Student Innovation Award 2016, which aims to showcase the work of inteational students in the English capital.He said at Wednesday's awards ceremony that he hopes to use the prize money to fund his startup, which will make more musical instruments using biomaterials.

The al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City. Photo: Ahmad Gharabli/AFPItaly's Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, on Friday described a UNESCO resolution condemning Israel's actions in east Jerusalem as "incomprehensible and unacceptable" and said his officials should have voted against it. Italy joined most of its European partners in abstaining on a vote which criticizes the Jewish state for restricting access to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in a way that Israel says denies Judaism's connection to the city."It is incomprehensible and unacceptable, it was a mistake," Renzi told Italian radio.The premier said he had issued instructions to Italian diplomats to take a different stance if the same issue arises again in inteational bodies."Suggesting that Jerusalem and Judaism have no connection is like suggesting the sun causes darkness," he said.
