FLORENCE, Italy—The city of Botticelli’s “Venus” and Michelangelo’s “David” is now the city of Airbnb . The spread of short-term rentals has pushed up rents and priced out residents. Shops that once served locals have become rarities. Lockboxes for keys sit next to the doorbells at many buildings’ entrances.

POZZUOLI, Italy—Diners at restaurants around this tiny port streamed outside while moored boats and an eight-story crane began to sway. Some cats milled about, unfazed by the umpteenth tremor to hit this picturesque seaside town. “You feel that? It’s nonstop earthquakes here,” said Luca Averna , a part-time fisherman, as he paused from working on his small boat during the 3.6-magnitude tremor. “We’re used to it, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t afraid.”

☆ Umbrellas and Lounge Chairs Cover Italy’s Beaches. To Some, They’re a Plague.
  + stars: | 2023-05-08 | by ( Eric Sylvers | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
About half of Italy’s coastline with sandy beaches is privately managed. Photo: Fabrizio Villa/Getty ImagesWhen Roberta Milani goes to the beach with her husband and three children, she doesn’t want to see hundreds of matching umbrellas and reclining chairs in neat rows hogging the sand and blocking her view of the sea. That can be a challenge in many parts of Italy. By law, Italian beaches are public land, but that doesn’t necessarily mean people can freely access them. The government has long given over the management of much of its 5,000-mile coastline to businesses that plant umbrellas and chairs in the sand almost up to the water and charge beachgoers to use them.

INSHEIM, Germany—Near the Rhine river in this part of western Germany, little indicates that beneath the picturesque villages, vineyards and rolling hills there lies enough lithium to make millions of batteries for electric vehicles. Vulcan Energy Resources Ltd., an Australian-German mining company, recently began extracting lithium from a mix of scalding water, minerals and metals almost 2 miles underground. The same hot brine has for years powered a geothermal electricity station, which Vulcan bought. The company has big expansion plans in the valley, backed by contracts to supply the auto industry.
