For those wondering what it’s like being a tourist in Italy right now, things are relatively normal for the majority of people in Florence and Rome. Very few masks, weather is great, and people chillin’ #COVID2019 #coronarvirusitalia
We are naturally taking precautions and being safe (all things considered) but the consensus is that the media (especially American media) is hyping this so much it’s pushing people to cancel future plans to all of Italy
Here’s another shot of what it looks like today in Rome: relaxed and people, as usual, can’t get enough of the Trevi Fountain. It’s beautiful and calm. #COVID2019italia #coranavirusitalia #coronavid19

🚨 The 2018 Uniform Crime Reports are finally up🚨

1. In what will surely be a blow to the Trump admin’s messaging, the 2018 UCR is out and… except for rape, all violent crime is down:

Murder: -6%
Robbery: -12%
Agg Assault: -0.3%

Rape: +3%

ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u…
2. All property crimes are down as well, but they have basically been falling all along.

Burglary: -12%
Larceny/theft: -6%
Auto theft: -3%
3. Obviously the biggest immediate question is how the rape data in the UCR compares to the NCVS, which showed that huge jump in 2018.

UCR: rape is +3%.

In NCVS, *reported* sexual assault (a BROADER definition) is +16%

Why the Italian populist government has basically collapsed, why Salvini (League) & Di Maio (5 Star Movement) were destined to break up and why the next general election will be decisive for the future of #Italy - and Europe.

A short thread (like when I used to work in Italy😊)
1. First of all, I was one of the very first commentators in Italy predicting a coalition between Di Maio and Salvini despite it sounded absurd then, getting many critics for that.()

So, when I say it was destined to break up, it's for a different reason.
2. Secondly, to be clear, the high speed railway TAV dispute (in some way similar to the British HS2) is just the tipping point of longstanding crisis between the two coalition parties. TAV surely sparked the ultimate crisis but Salvini and Di Maio were incompatible on much more.

Hello all, as this can be a crucial day for the new (populist) #Italy government I am now going to tweet a short thread on it, focusing especially on the (almost ready) M5S-LEGA agenda. At least 70 billions of additional debt are expected. How will Europe react? THREAD 🇮🇹
1. As I have been personally saying since the first election results (see here ) and despite a broad general skepticism on it in #Italy, a LEGA-M5S government was the only possible, given the circumstances after the vote. So, now we are very close to it.
2. Five Stars Movement (M5S) leader Di Maio and LEGA leader Salvini have been negotiating for days on a coalition contract (like in Germany). There have reportedly agreed on many points (we'll see later). But the big hurdle is: who is going to be the new Prime Minister?

Hello all, I will shortly start a live-tweeting on #ItalyElection2018 night. I will try to keep you posted with all the latest news, exit polls, vote projections until late (tomorrow morning shift, ouch)🇮🇹
Meanwhile, here you can find a guide to the vote
1. Turnout at 7 pm estimated at 57%. Not so much for #Italy standards. Not a good news for Renzi, in theory.
#ItalyElection2018
2. The Constitutional referendum turnout at 7 pm had a similar trend. Then (in 2016) the final turnout was 68,48%. If it stays so also today, it would be the lowest turnout in Italy republican history
In fact, it was 75% in 2013, 81% in 2008, 84% in 2006
