        I believe you have misunderstood him. the xpath expression "Item/*"
represents the child nodes of Item. So if you have one template named

that would be enough to process all item child nodes like name, description
etc.

<xsl:template match="Item/*">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

If you need the value of Sector as well, then you need a template for Item
itself as follows:

<xsl:template match="Item">
<xsl:value-of select="@Sector"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Item/image">
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src='url("{.}")'/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Your solution does not seem to working. As far as I can make out you are
suggetsing the following approach:

<xsl:template match="Item/*">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="@Sector"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Item/*">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Item/*">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="description"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Item/*">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="publishDate"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Item/*">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="closingDate"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Item/*">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="urnNumber"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Item/image">
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src='url("{.}")'/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="page1">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<xsl:apply-templates select="publications/Item"/>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
