Italy








 * Zynga made Lira the official currency of Italy because it would allow them to possibly expand to other Euro-zone countries in their pre-Euro currencies.
 * Italy 'Regions' are like Las Vegas 'Districts'. 5 Regions will be released soon.
 * 6 new initial properties: Port, Villa, Winery, Fishery, Auto Boutique and Football Stadium.
 * You will no long need to master all paths to finish a tier. Beating a boss will automatically advance you to a fully unmastered map on the next tier.
 * Port is a crafting building (such as Chop Shop). It requires lira to craft the items available in the Port.
 * Italy does not have a buildable vault like Vegas. However there will be a laundering fee (10%/7% if the Money Laundering collection has been vaulted) again for the bank.
 * Like Las Vegas, job consumables, property parts, collection items and loot drops will occur and random and at varying rarities. Job consumables will drop from specific jobs. Specific loot drops will only drop in specific regions.


 * Regions 6, 7 and 8 along with the Nightclub were released to everybody by January 26th, 2011.

Mastery Items
When you get Bronze Mastery on a District you receive the mastery item listed below. When you get Silver, Gold and Ruby Mastery this item gains more attack and defense and replaces the previously earned item.

"Italian Boss fights are designed similarly to the Beat the Feds event. In theory, a really strong player could beat a Boss all by herself, but very few players will be able to do that. The Boss fights were purposely designed to encourage cooperation with your mafia to take down the Boss(es) together. You cannot use two Boss Fight consumables in a row (Health Kit, Shiv, Grenade, Stun Gun). Boss Fights will be timed and the boss will not heal until that timer expires, at which point, he will heal to full strength. Each Boss has a different timer.''"
