Town calls halt to biggest mosque in North Italy

(ANSA) - Milan, October 10 - The town council of Sesto San Giovanni near Milan on Tuesday revoked permission to build what would have been the biggest mosque in northern Italy. The council pointed to "serious and repeated breaches of commitments made in 2013 and 2015 conventions by the Islamic Cultural Centre". The council passed the motion revoking a land grant with only the centre-left Democratic Party voting against.
