Stories about life in Italy: Man kills himself

Stories and News No. 824

Following the so-called decree Banks Rescue, a pensioner in Italy lost all his savings, about one hundred thousand euro, and took his own life.
Let’s overturn the facts…

What a story…
Did you see what tragedy it was?
It may read in all the papers.
