An Italian pensioner filed a lawsuit in court to force her two sons, aged 40 and 42, to leave their home. The court in Pavia (Lombardy) set them a deadline of December 18, as the local newspaper “La Provincia Paese” reported on Thursday.
They will have to spend Christmas somewhere else. The 75-year-old had previously tried many times in other ways to get the two to leave the ‘Hotel Mama’. According to the newspaper, the two working men did not want to pay the single mother’s rent or help with the housework.
They are called “Mammoni” or “Bamboccioni”.
In Italy there are relatively many people who continue to live with their parents until well after their 18th birthday. According to a survey by the EU statistics agency last year, the average age at which people left was exactly 30 years old. Mostly they are men. They are called ‘mammoni’ (‘mammy’s boys’) or ‘bamboccioni’ (‘giant babies’).
According to various surveys in recent years, more than a third of Italians over 30 have not yet left home. There are several reasons for this. The economic situation is also part of it. Some time ago, the Italian central bank warned in a study of “serious economic and demographic consequences” if young people wait so long to look for a job and start a family. (SDA)
