Italy
Italy's lakes have a firm place in our collective imagination as the epitome of luxury: dreamscapes peppered with yachts, ivy-clad villas and picturesque fishing villages, all crowned with the snow-capped Alps in the background. But when push comes to shove, most people can only name two: Lake Como, Hollywood's very own European enclave with its never-ending array of celebrity-owned waterfront manors; and Lake Garda, whose sprawling beaches and Mediterranean microclimate have made it an obvious tourist favourite. As summer approaches, Euronews Travel looks at a few other lakes dotted around th...

The Brothers of Italy’s conference in Pescara was more than a party gathering to launch Meloni’s electoral campaign. The event marks a key moment in the run-up to the European elections in June, with the Italian prime minister’s address last Sunday providing crucial insight into her conservative leadership in Europe and her EU goals. At the event, she announced that voters should use just her first name on their ballots. “Call me Giorgia,” she said. The move is legal, and while many, including her rivals, have criticised her decision, it aligns with her image as a leader with working-class roo...

A European court has upheld Italy’s right to seize a prized Greek statue from the J. Paul Getty Museum in California, ruling that Italy was justified in trying to reclaim what it considers a vital part of its cultural heritage. “This is not just a victory for the Italian government. It's a victory for culture,” said Maurizio Fiorilli, who as an Italian government attorney had spearheaded Italy's efforts to recover its looted antiquities and, in particular, the Getty bronze. The "Victorious Youth," a life-sized bronze sculpture dating back to 300-100 B.C., is a highlight of the Getty collection...

Strasbourg (France) (AFP) - Italy is allowed to confiscate an ancient Greek bronze fished from the Adriatic in the 1960s and now in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, Europe's top rights court ruled Thursday. Representing a nude athlete and known in the United States as "Victorious Youth", the statue vanished following its 1964 discovery until its 1977 purchase by the museum. The Getty has since refused to return it to Italy. The museum appealed to the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) after Italy's top tribunal in 2019 upheld an Italian confiscation order for the bronze. Fo...

Researchers at the University of Pisa have discovered a narrative purporting to tell the final hours of Plato, one of Ancient Greece’s greatest philosophers. The narrative was found in a papyrus scroll that had been almost completely destroyed in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. In the text, it tells the story of the philosopher, a disciple of Socrates, who died in 348 BC. The Greek philosopher died in bed as he listened to a Thracian slave girl play him the flute, it suggests.
