“NIAF looks forward to supporting the educational goals of young Italian Americans seeking to pursue their education in their ancestral homeland. The partnership with Luiss Guido Carli is a wonderful opportunity that shows our Foundation is committed to strengthening our ties to Italy and furthering the education of Italian American youth,” said NIAF Chairman Robert E. Carlucci.

Low tide leaves Venice canals almost dry
ANSA
Venice canals are almost dry after exceptionally low tides making it impossible for gondolas, water taxis and ambulances to navigate some waterways.
The problems in Venice are being blamed on a combination of factors including lack of rain, a high-pressure system, a full moon and sea currents.
Weeks of dry weather have raised fears
of another drought after last summer's emergency with the Alps having received less than half of their normal snowfall, according to environmental groups.
Italy's longest river, the Po, has 61 percent less water than normal at this time of year.
Last July, Italy declared a state of emergency for areas surrounding the Po, which accounts for roughly a third of the country's agricultural production and suffered its worst drought in 70 years.
