Rome against austarity. Violence ensues.

Italians are hard workers. I'm always surprised when I'm going to an Italian restaurant to get such great food for less than half I would pay in neighboring France. Then, they have to work hard, in most of Italy, property is very expensive. Several times what it costs in Spain.

Probably the owner is a german the cook a romanian and the girl serving the stuff a russian.
And the meat from slovenia and the vegetables from turkey.

No. I'm very careful when it comes to choosing restaurants. The places I choose are 100% Italian where nobody speaks anything but Italian, and I'm going there to eat Italian pasta with Italian cheese and Italian ham. When it comes to that, a major issue right now in Italy is that some German company has managed to get the right to sell some German ham with the name of a famous Italian ham, and it's a shame because that German ham doesn't taste at all like the Italian ham... Thanks Europe!

In Rome, there are quite many fast food outlets with Tunisians or other Arabs workers, but I'm not going there.

So in Italy, most of the restaurants are like this, or are they flooded with the Maghrebs? Not many Italian restaurants or pizzerias where I live, so I can't get that selective.

In the last news I read regarding food from Italy were my country was involved was that Italian brands were using Romanian milk and cheese for their products and selling them advertising that they are 100% italian.
So , i will not be so sure about the real origin of the food.

In a feew years we'll find out that the beer in OktoberFest is actually from the Czech Republic

I don't think that it is being done on a large scale. Do you think people won't be able to differentiate between Romanian and Italian cheese? Also, food safety authorities are very efficient in Italy.

Actually it was.
The newspapers here we're full of stories. Hundred of tones of milk was used for the "traditional" mozzarella and tons of dairy products we're manufactured here with italian names and exported.
The reason was the cheaper milk , sometime by 40-50%.

I think they passed a law in 2013 about this in Italy to prevent the imports but i don't know how to search for it.

Tthere was a similar legislation in Greece regarding "feta" cheese.

Clashes during mass eviction in crisis-hit Rome

http://rt.com/news/italy-rome-riots-crisis-092

Currently, 90 properties in Rome are occupied by squatters, and 3,346 evictions were carried in the first six months of 2013 – a 10 percent jump from the first half of 2012 - the city council stated. The squatters represent a mix of Italians and immigrants, many of whom lost their jobs in the economic crisis. Meanwhile, Italy's Panorama magazine investigated property that is currently empty during the crisis, and put the number at 50,000.

They need to do that x10 times in x/10 time frame just to get all the romanians living there. Not even talking about the others or real italians.
