(ANSA) - Rome, November 9 - Italy's wealth gap is closing slightly but the richest 10% of the population still has over a quarter of the country's total wealth, an EU-leading ratio, Eurostat said Friday.
    While the richest had 24-4% in 2017, they had 23.8% in 2008, it said.
    The poorest 10% has only 2% of income, compared to 1.8% in 2016, the European statistics agency said.
