Typical of the anger and frustration prevailing in Italy's impoverished south was the situation in Catania, an industrial city at the foot of Mount Etna. Projected only a few years ago as the Milan of the south, the city today is overwhelmed by seemingly unsolvable credit difficulties. Voters there gave the neo-Fascists an impressive 21.5% of the vote. "It was a corrivo," said a worker. The word means "a boom of rage...
