		</div><p>Italy has joined the rest of Europe in giving some legal rights to gay couples.<br />
The lower Chamber of Deputies voted 369-193 with two abstentions on Wednesday to approve legislation already passed in February by the Senate.</p>
<p>Gay rights activists hailed the vote as historic, given that Italy was the last of the European Union&#8217;s 28 nations to grant legal recognition to civil unions.</p>
<p>But they voiced disappointment that the government had sacrificed a provision to allow gay adoption to ensure passage.</p>
<p>The legislation grants same-sex couples many of the same rights as married couples: the possibility of having the same last name, inheritance rights, hospital visitation rights and medical decision-making rights.</p>
<p>But it stops short of authorising gay marriage, which the Vatican opposes.</p>
