[ad_1] LONDON: Italy 's benchmark bond yield hit its lowest level in 15 months on Thursday as the bond market rally continued despite central bank officials' best attempts to rein in the exuberance. The Italian 10-year yield , which moves inversely to the price, fell 4 basis points (bps) to 3.566% on Thursday, the lowest since late August 2022. Meanwhile, Germany's 10-year bond yield, the benchmark for the euro zone as a whole, was last down 3 bps at 1.947%, its lowest in nine months. Yields have tumbled in November and December as inflation in the US and Europe has fallen sharply and central bankers have said interest rate hikes are almost certainly over. "It just seems like no one's been willing to stand in the way of this (rally) and you do wonder is that partly because it's year-end and no one really wants to get cut out," said Lyn Graham-Taylor, rates strategist at Rabobank. "It's always difficult at this time of year reading too mu...

[ad_1] A letter written by a Roman emperor helped lead a team of archaeologists to an ancient temple that "adds significant insights into the social changes" from pagan beliefs to Christianity in the Roman Empire, experts announced recently.  The lead archaeologist on the expedition, Douglas Boin, Ph.D., announced the "monumental discovery" at the annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America, according to a news release from St. Louis University, where Boin is a professor of history.  Boin said he and his team discovered "three walls of a monumental structure" that appears to have been a Roman temple from the Constantine era, which ranged from A.D. 280 to 337. During Emperor Constantine's rule of the empire, he made the persecution of Christians illegal and bankrolled church-building projects, among other efforts, helping usher in the spread of the religion throughout the empire, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica .  ...

[ad_1] ROME: Italy's 2006 World Cup-winning goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon announced his retirement on Wednesday at the age of 45, sparking tributes from the world of football.  "That's all folks! You gave me everything. I gave you everything. We did it together," Buffon posted on social media.  Buffon won 10 Serie A titles with Juventus but ended his stellar career back where it all started at Parma.  "We would like to thank you once again: It is one of those moments we will remember in the history of football," Juventus said in a statement.  "You were not only the best, you did more than that, you became THE goalkeeper."  It was at Parma that he won his only European club trophy -- the 1999 UEFA Cup (now the Europa League) -- but he retires without a Champions League winners medal having lost three times in the final with Juventus.  Parma paid a handsome tribute to him saying he is "a man, a champion, a captain for the club and ...

[ad_1] Italy’s coastguard said on Sunday it had recovered two bodies and rescued 57 people off the southern island of Lampedusa, amid reports that more than 30 people were missing following two shipwrecks. The Ansa news agency, citing survivors’ accounts, reported that two migrant boats that had set off from the port of Sfax, a hotspot for Tunisia’s migration crisis, had sunk on Saturday on their way to Europe. One was carrying 48 people, the second 42, Ansa said, adding that the coastguard found the survivors about 23 nautical miles (46 km) south-west of Lampedusa, as well as the two victims - a woman from Ivory Coast and her one-year-old child. A coastguard spokesperson said he could only confirm the number of survivors and the recovery of two bodies. More than 2,000 people have arrived in Lampedusa in the last few days after being rescued at sea by Italian patrol boats and NGO groups, as strong winds further complicate the situation around the island.

[ad_1] MILAN: Next week's World Cup marks the dawn of a new era for Italy's women with teenage Barcelona midfielder Giulia Dragoni the exciting face of a fresh chapter. Long-time captain Sara Gama, 34, was left out of Milena Bertolini's squad as the Italy coach made space for emerging talent. Dragoni booked her spot on the plane to Australia and New Zealand after impressing on her debut aged 16 as a substitute in a recent goalless draw with Morocco. The youngster is unlikely to start given the stiff competition in a midfield led by Manuela Giugliano, but she could well play a part as Italy try to show that they are better than their dismal display at Euro 2022. Italy surprised by reaching the quarter-finals of the last World Cup – their first for two decades – but finished bottom of their group with one point at the Euro in England. Dragoni was picked alongside another young gun in Fiorentina's 19-year-old Emma Severini, in a squad which features 15 player...
