Description

Italy, Rome and Vatican news in English, earthquake alerts, strikes and saints

Italy's news in English, from Rome and the Vatican to Sicily. For expats, Italians abroad, visitors and Vatican watchers. NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: Italy News is independent. It does not represent the Italian government, the Holy See or any government agency and is not affiliated with them. Every source is listed under SOURCES, with its link. NEWS By topic (politics, the Pope, strikes, living in Italy, Serie A, food and wine, archaeology and more) and by city, from Milan to the Amalfi Coast. A notification at most once a day for what you follow, never at night. Tap a term under a headline (ZTL, Curia) for an explanation. TODAY For your city: earthquakes nearby, with an alert when one is felt there, weather warnings for your region, with alerts, the weather, the strike watch for trains, buses and flights, name days, the euro, the next long weekend and what's coming up. VATICAN Today in the Church (the season, its colour and the saint), the Pope's Angelus and General Audience in your time, the Holy See's bulletin, and the Vatican Museums' free Sundays. CALENDAR AND ITALIAN Holidays and your city's patron saint, the Pope's year, free museum Sundays and tax dates, with reminders. An Italian word a day, and "Italy explained": 120 terms.

Saints: the General Roman Calendar; name days: Italian Wikipedia. Photos: Wikimedia Commons, credited in the app. Words and Italy explained: written for the app. WHAT IT CAN'T DO Stories are the publishers' own; some ask you to subscribe. Earthquake alerts are INGV's figures, minutes after the fact, not a warning: in an emergency call 112. Papal events are as usual; the Vatican confirms each one. Free, with a single banner ad. A one-time purchase removes it.
