Italy
   Acts 18:2; 27:1, 6; Heb. 13:24), like most geographical names,
   was differently used at different periods of history. As the
   power of Rome advanced, nations were successively conquered and
   added to it till it came to designate the whole country to the
   south of the Alps. There was constant intercourse between
   Palestine and Italy in the time of the Romans.

   Introduction Italy
   ------------------
                            Background: Italy became a nation-state in 1861
                                        when the city-states of the
                                        peninsula, along with Sardinia and
                                        Sicily, were united under King
                                        Victor EMMANUEL. An era of
                                        parliamentary government came to a
                                        close in the early 1920s when Benito
                                        MUSSOLINI established a Fascist
                                        dictatorship. His disastrous
                                        alliance with Nazi Germany led to
                                        Italy's defeat in World War II. A
                                        democratic republic replaced the
                                        monarchy in 1946 and economic
                                        revival followed. Italy was a
                                        charter member of NATO and the
                                        European Economic Community (EEC).
                                        It has been at the forefront of
                                        European economic and political
                                        unification, joining the European
                                        Monetary Union in 1999. Persistent
                                        problems include illegal
                                        immigration, the ravages of
                                        organized crime, corruption, high
                                        unemployment, and the low incomes
                                        and technical standards of southern
                                        Italy compared with the prosperous
                                        north.

   Economy Italy
   -------------
                    Economy - overview: Italy has a diversified industrial
                                        economy with roughly the same total
                                        and per capita output as France and
                                        the UK. This capitalistic economy
                                        remains divided into a developed
                                        industrial north, dominated by
                                        private companies, and a less
                                        developed agricultural south, with
                                        20% unemployment. Most raw materials
                                        needed by industry and more than 75%
                                        of energy requirements are imported.
                                        Over the past decade, Italy has
                                        pursued a tight fiscal policy in
                                        order to meet the requirements of
                                        the Economic and Monetary Unions and
                                        has benefited from lower interest
                                        and inflation rates. Italy's
                                        economic performance has lagged
                                        behind that of its EU partners, and
                                        the current government has enacted
                                        numerous short-term reforms aimed at
                                        improving competitiveness and long-
                                        term growth. Rome has moved slowly,
                                        however, on implementing needed
                                        structural reforms, such as
                                        lightening the high tax burden and
                                        overhauling Italy's rigid labor
                                        market and expensive pension system,
                                        because of the current economic
                                        slowdown and opposition from labor
                                        unions.
