Nickel Silver

Does some Italian Sterling Silver contain nickel?

I am just wondering because i have a number necklaces stamped "ITALY" and "925, but some of them seem slightly magnetic.

Usually italian sterling silver (or "argento 925") is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of copper.
