After researching, the Italian economy seems very differently structured than the USA. I will comment later. Besides the middle finger, which I personally think is an anti-fascist symbol, (the sculptor will not divulge it’s meaning), the building behind it, according to our tour guide, is the Italian stock exchange. Concerning the bonds trade, Everyone here in the USA talks about China and Japan buying our government bonds and owning our debt.(30%?). It appears, In Italy, the debt is mostly financed in-house, either directly or indirectly by it’s citizens. Also in Italy, fortunately for it, 15% of the economic GDP is driven by the tourism industry. Every time I am in Italy, I can witness the enormous tourism industry. I personally think this has a lot to do with the Euro currently being stronger than the dollar. (1 euro currently converts to around 1.10 dollars?). My tour guide stopped here for awhile and fascism was discussed, especially as it pertained to the giant middle finger, “flicking everybody off. “. Haha.
