YOU MAY have seen yesterday’s story about the first divorce trade fair in Italy. The article failed to mention some interesting facts about love and marriage in Italy.

Italy’s out-of-wedlock birth ratio has climbed from 8 percent in 1995 to 19.6 percent in 2008, according to this report. Italy’s divorce rate went from 158 separations and 80 divorces per 1000 married couples in 1995 to 272 separations and 151 divorces per 1000 married couples in 2005, according to this article. The divorce rate jumped 74 percent in 10 years.

Love is now about self-expansion in Italy too. Love also produces very few children. It expands but does not reproduce. Italy is dying.
