The Italian government is giving teens €500 on their 18th birthday to spend on books

In a move designed to remind young people that culture can enrich one's life and bring people together, Italian citizens are to get a €500 (£430) 'culture bonus' on their 18th birthday. The initiative launches on 15 September, and the bonus can be spent on books, concerts tickets, theatre tickets, cinema tickets, museum visits and trips to national parks.
