ROME -- A 51 year old woman is seriously ill after being served dishwasher detergent instead of a glass of wine in Milan. The incident took place on via private Carlone in Lorenteggio, with the victim transported to the San Carlo di Milano Hospital for treatment. Police say it is uncertain whether the detergent was alone or mixed with the drink. 

  The owner of the bar, a 54 year old woman, allegedly reused wine bottles, filling them with detergent without changing the labels. She is now under investigation for grievous bodily harm and the bar has been seized by authorities.

  ROME -- Some 800 demonstrators have taken to the streets of Venice on Thursday to protest the city’s new entry ticket. On Italy’s Liberation Day, the citizens of Venice fought for their freedom once again against measures introducing a daily access ticket which would control the flow of people entering the city. Gathering at Ponte della Libertà, demonstrators were equipped with placards, leaflets, and satirical tickets, the word freedom, fittingly, adorned many of their signs.
