ROME, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Italian Stock Exchange opened Monday's trading session stronger based in part on strong economic data of China, though worries about the spread of the coronavirus in many parts of Europe help chip away the gains late in the day.

On Sunday, China revealed that its economy grew 4.9 percent in the third quarter of this year compared with the same period in 2019. That brought the economic growth rate for the world's second-largest economy to 0.7 percent over the first nine months of the year.
