ROME (Reuters) - Italy has agreed to tighten border controls and house hundreds of migrants after Germany asked for help dealing with record numbers of arrivals, Italy's northern border province of Bolzano said on Wednesday.

An official from the German region of Bavaria had asked for Italy's help dealing with rising numbers of migrants and the central government in Rome offered to use the same border checks as were imposed temporarily during a Group of Seven meeting in Germany in June, the province of Bolzano said on its website.
