This isn't good news, especially about Italy..
Economic growth in the eurozone has fallen to its slowest pace in more than four years, and Italy is not growing at all, according to figures released Tuesday. The snapshot is likely to sharpen political divisions in the European Union and make the region more vulnerable to the forces rattling financial markets.

Separately, Italy’s government statistics office said growth during the third quarter was zero as manufacturing slumped.
