The head of the Northe League, Matteo Salvini, leads a rally against Italy's proposed citizenship law. Photo: Filippo Monteforte/AFP Fear over migrants, not euro-scepticism, is fuelling populism in Italy ahead of next year’s general election, according to a survey by La Stampa and the Financial Times.
The two centrist newspapers last month asked their readers to share their conces ahead of the spring vote, and those who did put multiculturalism high on the list.
Of the more than 1,100 people who responded, fewer than half said that they believed in a multiethnic Italy. Most rejected the idea or said they had grave doubts about it.
The findings are not necessarily representative, given that the sample was self-selecting. According to La Stampa, respondents mainly came from the north of Italy, the country’s wealthy industrial heartland and home of the far-right, anti-immigration, anti-EU Northe League.
Nationwide opinion polls show the goveing centre-left Democratic Party (PD) losing ground to the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S), which like the Northe League has long criticized the European Union and the single currency – though The Local...

The oldest living European, Giuseppina Projetto. Photo: Richard Monkey/Wikimedia Commons. Italy’s Giuseppina Projetto, 115, has taken the title of Europe’s oldest living person after the death of a 116-year-old Spaniard.
Ana Vela Rubio, bo on October 29th, 1901, passed away peacefully at her nursing home in Barcelona a few days ago.
Her death makes Projetto, who tus 116 on May 30th, the oldest remaining European.
Bo in Sardinia in 1902, Projetto has been dubbed “the grandmother of Italy”. She has been the world’s oldest Italian since 117-year-old Emma Morano died in April, followed by 115-year-old Canadian-Italian nun Marie-Josephine Clarice Gaudette, who passed away in July.
She is the third oldest person alive in the world today, after two Japanese women bo in 1900 and 1901.
Projetto lives with her descendants in the family home in Montelupo Fiorentino, near Florence, and swears by eating chocolate.
She is one of tens of thousands of Italians over 100 and still going. Many scientists have sought to identify the key to Italy’s extraordinary longevity, with suggestions ranging from a Mediterranean diet to hormones to sex. The Local...

A court in Alessandria in northe Italy threw out a rescue plan for the legendary company and put it into administration, Elio Bricola from the UIL labour union told AFP.He said that while "it is likely industrial activity will continue" for now, "employees are angry and worried about their future". Michael Jackson loved Borsalino hats, trend-setting music star Pharrell Williams is a contemporary fan and David Bowie opted for one of the Italian house's black fedoras for what was to prove his final photo shoot.The 1970 French gangster film "Borsalino" was also named after the distinctive fedora-style hats wo by heartthrob actors Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo.

An Italian arrested in Portugal after fleeing a life sentence for a deadly 1974 bombing was extradited to Rome on Tuesday, Italian police said.
Maurizio Tramonte, 65, a former secret service informant, was sentenced to life behind bars in 2015, 41 years after the attack that killed eight people and wounded 102 in Brescia in northe Italy.
He was run to ground in the Portuguese city of Fatima in June. Press reports at the time said he was nabbed by police as he prayed.
The former leader of the neo-fascist Ordine Nuovo (New Order) organisation, 82-year old Carlo Maria Maggi, was also given a life sentence for the attack on a trade union rally.
The bombing was one of a clutch of terror attacks by hardline rightwing and leftwing groups in Italy across more than a decade from the late 1960s.
That period of violent turmoil, which saw hundreds of killings, has been dubbed the "Years of Lead".
The Brescia attack was one of the worst in that troubled period along with the Piazza Fontana bombing in Milan in 1969, which killed 16, and the Bologna railway station blast which left 85 dead in 1980.

A newspaper kiosk in Milan. Photo: Jose Luis Hidalgo R/Flickr An Italian newspaper editor has been acquitted of wrongdoing over a headline printed after the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, which labelled the killers 'Islamic bastards'.
Maurizio Belpietro published the headline on the front page of centre-right Italian daily Libero the moing after the attacks in which 130 people were killed, including one Italian.
A court in Milan, where the publication is based, has now acquitted the editor of insulting a religious belief, aggravated by racial hatred, under article 403 of the Italian criminal code. If found guilty, Belpietro could have faced a fine of thousands of euros.
Prosecutor Piero Basilone had requested a fine of €8,300 for what he described as "a generalized insult to one and a half million people of the Islamic faith, many of them victims of acts of terrorism", according to La Stampa. The trial took place after several Muslim citizens filed complaints to Milan's public prosecutor, and a local Islamic organization, Caim, formed a civil party and requested €350,000 in compensation.

Alas, poor Spelacchio. Photo: Alberto Pizzoli/AFP Christmas is dead – or at least, the much mocked Christmas tree provided by Rome's city council is.
The Christmas tree erected in Piazza Venezia at a cost of nearly €50,000 is deceased, no more, bereft of life, a spokesperson for the capital's environment department confirmed to Corriere della Sera on Monday, a full week before Christmas.
In fact the spruce – better known by its nickname "Spelacchio", which roughly translate as threadbare, shabby or balding – was dead from the start, the spokesperson said: it left its roots in the Dolomites, literally, and was brought to Rome a mere trunk.
That doesn't necessarily explain its sickly appearance, the part of northe Italy that supplied the tree insisted. "Despite being technically dead, trees can remain luxuriant for a month and a half, two months," a spokesperson for the Val di Fiemme area in Trentino told La Reppublica.

From the very beginning of the UK’s negotiations to leave the European Union I have been consistently clear that protecting the rights of both EU citizens living in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU was my first priority. I know that the referendum result has caused considerable anxiety for many of you and your families.
That is why, at the beginning of the negotiating process, I made it clear that any deal guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens living in the UK would be dependent on such an offer being reciprocated for our UK nationals in the remaining Member States.
So I am delighted to announce that in concluding the first phase of the negotiations that is exactly what we have achieved.
From speaking to my counterparts across Europe, I know that they hugely value the UK nationals living in their communities. We have worked hard to address the very complex and technical issues that needed working through before a formal agreement could be reached.

A butcher's shop in Chianti. Photo: Giuseppe Cacace/AFP China has lifted a longstanding import ban on Italian beef, officials said on Tuesday, paving the way for Florentine steak and other specialities to enter to Chinese kitchens for the first time in 16 years.
Italian beef will be allowed to retu to China as soon as the two countries agree a protocol establishing the health and safety requirements, Italy's ministry of agriculture announced.
Beijing banned imported beef from Italy in 2001, citing safety conces. Its decision to reconsider follows a visit by Chinese officials in September to inspect Italian meat production facilities, as well as months of lobbying by Italy's agricultural authorities.
"After 16 years we'll export quality Italian beef to China again," said Agriculture Minister Maurizio Martina. "After the end of the ban on pork last year and on oranges in early 2017, we have overcome another historic hurdle."

shrunken head to Ecuador, relinquishing the wizened cranium of an Amazon
warrior nearly 100 years after it was taken by a missionary.
The grisly body part -- which belonged to the Shuar indigenous people -- was handed over during Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno's visit to Pope Francis on Saturday after months of negotiations, the Vatican said.
It is very rare for a historical artifact to be retued by the Vatican museums, which boast one of the largest collections of art and archaeology in the world.
The fist-sized capitulum, which never went on show, is believed to have been a war trophy for the Shuar, who mummified and kept the heads of their warrior enemies, as well as their heroes.
The Shuar are still one of the most important ethnic groups in the Amazon region. In recent years they have hit the headlines for attempting to resist govement-authorised large-scale mining on land they claim as their own.

Photo: France Presse Voir/AFP The body of Italy's controversial king Victor Emmanuel III retued to Italy on Sunday, amid a row over where the monarch who abetted dictator Benito Mussolini should be buried.
Victor Emmanuel, who ruled from 1900 until his abdication on May 9th, 1946, died in exile in Egypt.
Permission for his body to be brought back was granted to the House of Savoy by the president, and his remains were flown in from Egypt on Sunday, historian Aldo Mola told AFP.
The king will be buried in the family's mausoleum, the Sanctuary of Vicoforte in northe Italy, according to Mola, who has helped organise the royal's retu.
But his great grandson, feuding with relatives over who is the rightful heir to one of the oldest royal dynasties in the world, says Victor Emmanuel should be buried in the Pantheon in Rome alongside Italy's other kings.

Weighing in at 140 kilogrammes (308 pounds), the two-metre (over six foot) high marvel was sliced up into 1,200 pieces for sweet-toothed tourists and locals at the Victor Emmanuel II shopping gallery near the city's Gothic cathedral.
"Panettone is the Christmas dessert par excellence. Fashions may change, but panettone remains an unshakable tradition," Angelo Beasconi, owner of the San Gregorio patisserie behind the giant dome-shaped delight, told AFP.

Dozens of rowers dressed as Father Christmas raced down Venice's Grand Canal on Sunday, cheered on by crowds gathered to watch the annual fancy-dress regatta.
Organised by the University Ca' Foscari, the eighth edition of the race set off from Saint Mark's Square, with champions and amateurs competing in traditional "mascarete" boats -- once the domain of fishermen.
They were followed by a water parade of fellow Father Christmases in "bissone", "caorline" and dragon boats -- flat vessels with six to eight rowers each that nipped down the canal in the winter sunshine.
Since it began in 2009, the regatta has been held in the run-up to Christmas. Those feeling particularly sporty -- or keen on losing Santa-sized stomachs -- can take part afterwards in a race through the Italian city's

Officers at the scene in the aftermath of the shooting. Photo: Guardia Civil/Twitter A Serbian-bo man arrested in Spain over the killing of three men agreed on Sunday to be extradited to Italy where he is wanted for robbery and murder, a Spanish court said.
Police arrested Norbert Feher on Friday in a rural area of Teruel province in the northeaste region of Aragon, where the slaying of two police officers and a rancher happened a day earlier.
During questioning by a judge, the 36-year-old said he had been in Spain since September and agreed to be sent back to Italy, the Superior Court of Justice of Aragon said in a statement.
The court said Italy could ask for him to be temporarily retued so he could stand trial for homicide and robberies before serving a possible prison sentence in Spain for the triple murder.
The Spanish judge took the testimony of Feher, who Italian media said was nicknamed "Igor the Russian", to comply with a European arrest warrant Italy had issued for him.
Spanish police said he was in possession of three firearms at the time of his arrest, two belonging to the slain officers. The Local...

Italy has been chasing Amazon for taxes owed. Photo: Loic Venance/AFP Amazon has agreed to pay the Italian taxman €100 million to settle a dispute over suspected tax fraud, the Italian revenue service said on Friday.
Italian authorities have been investigating Amazon for tax evasion in the period between 2011 and 2015, but the deal meant the case is now closed, it said in a statement.
Citing investigators, Italian media reported in April that Amazon had established a mechanism to declare some €130 million of Italian profits in Luxembourg, which has a much lower corporate tax rate.
Italy has previously forced other US inteet giants to pay up for taxes owed, including Apple, which in December 2015 agreed to pay €300 million to end a tax fraud investigation. Last May, Google agreed to pay €306 million.
The tax authorities said on Friday that they would now seek "preventative agreements" with Amazon to ensure that the company properly pays its taxes on Italian eaings.

Abdullah II at the Vatican next week, the Holy See announced on Friday, as
Palestinians continue to clash with Israeli forces over US President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Demonstrations and violence broke out across the Palestinian territories for the second Friday in a row after the end of weekly Muslim prayers.
Two Palestinians were shot and killed by Israeli forces in clashes along the Gaza-Israel border, the Palestinian health ministry said.
The pope and King Abdullah, the custodian of the Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem's Old City, are likely to discuss the situation, though the Vatican never indicates topics of discussion for such meetings in advance.
On Sunday the pope called for "respect of the status quo" in Jerusalem and waed against "a new spiral of violence".
Abdullah has denounced the Jerusalem announcement as "a violation of inteational rights".
Jerusalem, which contains sites considered sacred by Christians, Jews and Muslims, is of huge importance to both Israel and the Palestinians.

He landed at 9:38 Italian time in Kazakhstan, along with fellow crew members American Randy Bresnik of the United States and Russian Sergei Ryazansky.
To celebrate the final day of his mission to the Inteational Space Station, Nespoli -- who is the European Space Agency's oldest working astronaut -- shared an incredible timelapse video showing Italy lit up at night.
The retu jouey took just three hours as the trio travelled at 28,000 kilometers per hour, and Nespoli used a typically Italian simile to describe the feeling of the impact with the ground. According to him, it felt just like "a Fiat 500 in a head-on collision with a large lorry".
