Italians can celebrate lower pasta prices but must face higher prices across the board for fruit and vegetables. Italy’s industry ministry reported last week that prices of pasta had fallen by an average of 0.3 per cent in May compared with a month earlier, saying that a monitoring system it set up had the intended effect of reducing prices.
