Italy's problem was never the Euro.

Italy is the largest political mess of Europe, and the amount of structural problems is staggering.

Its industries kept it running, and China's growth as a manufacturing centre, together with the accession of countries with less structural problems have taken a toll on the Italian industry.

If there was no Euro, Italy would still be ruined anyway.
