A court in Bergamo in Italy has ordered a father to continue to pay his 32-year-old daughter's living expenses even though she left university eight years ago
The reports are unclear as to the legal background to this odd judgement, but it has so angered Italy's Minister for Public Administration that he is suggesting a new law to force grown-up children, known in Italy as bamboccioni or ‘big babies’, to leave the parental home when they reach eighteen.
It’s an interesting idea given that figures show that the average age of home-leavers in Italy is one of the highest in Europe. How he proposes to manage this little trick though is a mystery given that we are in the midst of a recession and that young people are finding it harder to fund places of their own.
However, the idea may please many parents if the bold minister can pull it off!
