Italy goes to the polls this weekend, with the economy on many voters' minds.

Italy goes to the polls this weekend, with the economy on many voters' minds. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Mike Johnson has been gauging the health of the country's economy, and finds out how big an issue immigration has become in the election. He's joined throughout the programme by economist Nicola Borri of Luiss University in Rome, and Giada Zampano, who writes for the website Politico. Plus we hear from Dario Ferrari, a guitar-maker who is part of a new generation of Italian artisans.
