Many young women tell the same story. The phenomenon of human trafficking has been well documented in recent years, but that doesn't mean it has been stopped. Most recently, on January 25, Italy's Gazzetta del Sud newspaper reported that five people had been arrested, accused of human trafficking, prostituting minors and slavery charges. Each group along the route takes its cut. Not all of them are directly linked, but they are all getting rich from selling humans into the sex trade. Massimo Lugli, a crime reporter with the Italian daily La Repubblica , estimated in April that there were nine million men paying for prostitutes in Italy alone and that business was worth 90 million euros per month.

An Italian man stepped outside to cool off after quarrelling with his wife - and ended up walking km miles. Italians have nicknamed him "Forrest Gump" on social media, after the slow-witted hero of a movie, played by Tom Hanks, who runs thousands of miles across the United States. Police stopped the Italian's epic walk at 2am in Fano on the Adriatic coast, a week after he left Como in the north. The story was first reported by the Bologna-based newspaper Il Resto del Carlino but quickly went viral in Italian media.
