Pope Francis is stepping up his campaign to urge Italians to have children, calling for long-term policies to help families and warning that the country’s demographic crisis was threatening the future. “The number of births is the first indicator of the hope of a people,” Francis told an annual gathering of pro-family groups on Friday. “Without children and young people, a country loses its desire for the future.” Italy’s birth rate, already one of the lowest in the world, has been falling steadily for about 15 years and reached a record low last year with just 379,000 babies born. With the Va...

The union representing some three-quarters of Italian public broadcaster Rai's 2,000 radio and television journalists voiced complaints about editorial interference and working conditions, declaring a 24-hour strike on Monday.

And Rai belongs to everyone," USIGRai said in a video statement. The one-day strike is the latest protest by Italian journalists against what they say are threats to freedom of the press and expression in Italy — including c...

European elections are right around the corner. In Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's right-wing Brothers of Italy party looks set to win the most votes in the EU Parliament elections between 8 and 9 June. That's according to a Euronews poll from the end of April. It found that support for the party remains stable at 28 per cent. The poll also predicted that the centre-left Democratic Party will come in second place, followed by the populist Five Star Movement. Support for these two parties is on the rise, however.

Almost 90 migrants in an overcrowded boat adrift in the Mediterranean Sea have been saved by a humanitarian group. A rescue ship from the Italian NGO 'Emergency' rescued 87 people stranded in the sea on Friday evening. They had departed from Zawiya, Libya 20 hours earlier.

Among the group was a pregnant woman and fourteen unaccompanied minors. "We immediately took in the most vulnerable cases: a pregnant woman in her fourth m...

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...
