The Milan bourse fell 2.95%
Monday with the bellwether FTSE-MIB index falling to 18,759
points - the first time it has been below 19,000 points since
December 19.
Bank stocks were punished, as elsewhere, by worries over a
rise in US protectionism and an immigration crackdown under
President Donald Trump.
UBI lost 7%, while UniCredit fell 6% in the run-up to its
capital hike and BPER 4%.
Generali fell 3.3% and both Intesa and Mediobanca lost 2.7%.
Elsewhere London fell 0.92%, Frankfurt 1.12% and Paris 1.14%.
