Thank you for this interesting article. I am just finishing spending a month in Palermo and have been navigating crowds of young people (i.e. school age) wherever I went...the piazza, museums, churches, avenues...everywhere. Is it possible the demographers have something wrong and there is a surge of youth appearing?
'La gita scholastica' is still very popular in Italy - the school trip. The demographic winter in the UK is far worse... but I was very struck by the difference in Albania and Serbia when I was there... LOTS of youngsters compared to Italy.
Oh yes. It already does look different to what it did in the 1990s when i lived in Rome. And the change was very sudden. I am not sure I say it above but demographic trends are slow, and then suddenly become fast.

Thank you, that is very interesting. I imagine the European world will look much different in 30 years or so.
