Flavia Franzoni, professor and wife of Italy's ex-Premier Romano Prodi, dies during hike at 76

The wife of former Italian Premier Romano Prodi has died during a hike in Umbria. Italy’s rescue service says Flavia Franzoni was found unconscious when rescue crews arrived. The Prodis and others were walking along the Via di Francesco, a popular pilgrimage route between Gubbio and Assisi, when Franzoni collapsed. Medics tried to resuscitate her, but the rescue corps said there was nothing to be done and she was pronounced dead at the scene. She was 76. Franzoni, a professor of social work at the University of Bologna, was often at Prodi’s side during his political career, which included two stints as Italian premier and a term as European Commission president.

Italy begins to reckon with Fascist-era colonial collections

Italy is starting to come to terms with its Fascist-era colonial past and the loot it has in its museums. It's something of a turnabout given that Italy has long been considered a victim of looting. It has spent decades trying to recover ancient Etruscan vases and Roman statutes that ended up in museums around the globe. But for over a year, a team of museum directors, university researchers and scholars have been conducting a “census” of the collections in the 498 Italian state museums to get a handle on whether they contain any stolen loot from Italy's colonial empire.
