The number of Italians living
abroad has increased by one million over the last five years,
taking the total to around five million, according to data
presented at the General Council for Italians Abroad at the
foreign ministry in Rome.
"Italians around the world represent a priceless resource for
our country," said Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano.
"Our daily commitment must be to support our fellow Italians
in every corner of the Earth to better capitalise on this
precious resource".
