 | | In the Molise region of central-south Italy some 4,000 people (the Molise Croats) speak Serbo-Croatian - these are the descendants of a group of people who migrated from the Balkans in the Middle Ages. | | | There is a growing population of Jews and Muslims in Italy, many of whom speak Hebrew and Arabic, respectively. | | | According to estimates by (CIA World Fact Book 2005, Italian polls, Adherents.com, BBCNews and others), it is safe to conclude that 87% of the Italian population self-identify as Roman Catholic, whereas around 13% identify with either other religions or none at all. |

| | Italy was now run by a tycoon for whom the distinction between the interests of the nation and those of his commercial empire were, to say the least, blurred. | | | This scandal, substantial even by Italian standards, and the upsurge during the summer of 1992 of Mafia violence, brought Italy to something of a social and moral crisis. | | | A breaking point had been reached: instead of the usual world-weary, cynical reaction, Italians reacted angrily. |

| | Despite examples of assimilation, most Jews of Italy never became estranged from their Jewish intellectual and religious heritage. | | | Toward the end of the 13th century and beginning of the 14th the Jews in Italy focused on becoming money lenders and small-scale bankers. | | | They were driven into this occupation partly because no regular form of financial assistance was available from other sources for small merchants or needy individuals, and partly because of the Church prohibition on lending money for interest by Christians. |
