ROME (AP) — NATO said Monday it is moving its run-down southern command in Italy to a new €164-million ($212 million) high-tech campus 20 kilometers (10 miles) away.

The alliance said it would leave its base of nearly 60 years, located in the Naples neighborhood of Bagnoli, on Dec. 3 and move to the new campus at Lake Patria, in farmland up the coast.
