Rome
More than one-third of Italians say they would rather live in a different country, a Eurispes poll found this week. Among 18- to 34-year-olds, more than half want to live somewhere else. But “the great revelation” in the poll, Milan’s Corriere della Sera said, is not that so many young people want to leave Italy. It’s that they don’t want to go to the United States. Spain and France were cited most as the ideal places to emigrate to, followed by Britain and Switzerland. In a similar poll taken in 1990, the vast majority of young people wanted to move to America.
