(Anjali Shreya, Intern Journalist): People living in Italy’s smallest village are celebrating the arrival of a new resident – the first child to be born there in eight years.
The population in Morterone, a mountainous community in Lombardy, rose to 29 on Sunday after the birth of a child named Denis.
“It’s really a celebration for the whole community,” Morterone Mayor Antonella Invernizzi told Corriere Della Sera.
Denis’s parents, Matteo and Sara, followed the Italian tradition of announcing birth by placing a ribbon – blue for a boy and pink for a girl – at the door of their home. This is the first time such a ribbon has been seen in the village since 2012 when a baby girl was born.
