TABLE-Italy June retail sales rise 0.4 pct m/m

Aug 29 (Reuters) - Italian retail sales rose a seasonally adjusted 0.4 percent in June from a month earlier, and were down an unadjusted 0.5 percent year on year, national statistics agency ISTAT said on Wednesday.

ISTAT revised May's data to +0.1 m/m and -1.7 pct y/y from an originally reported -0.2 pct m/m and -2.0 pct y/y.

The data are expressed in value terms and are not adjusted for consumer price inflation, which stood at +3.3 percent y/y in June, based on the main domestic NIC index.

In the first six months of the year, retail sales declined 1.4 percent compared with the same period of 2011.
