The presenter of “Mi manda Rai3” will be offered a journalism contract and the title of editor-in-chief following a dispute that was swiftly resolved by the broadcaster. This mirrors what happened to Serena Bortone, albeit with the political sides reversed: at that time, Rai was led by the left; today, by the right. The political majorities may change, but the treatment of presenters remains the same

The crowds lining the streets no longer see him merely as the greatest of them all. Ever since Fausto Coppi has ceased to be the sole subject of the sports pages in the daily newspapers, ‘Il Airone’ has ‘also’ become the man who had a clandestine affair with the ‘Dama Bianca’. It is under the weight of the scandal, the allegations and an Italy that judges him even off the track that the ‘Campionissimo’ faces his Lombardia race 

“I’ll certainly take it easy at the start, without chasing any early breakaways. Then, after the 30-kilometre mark, if I’m feeling good, I’ll run the race I have in mind. Let’s say the podium could be within my reach, but I won’t hide the fact that I’m dreaming of victory.” Yeman Crippa is preparing for the New York Marathon  

From Deneen to Pabst, various thinkers agree on the need to entrust the definition of the common good to a morally-oriented ruling class. But the critique of liberal individualism is based on a caricature, whilst the state itself could well be the real adversary of communities

The influence of Sputnik and the Orthodox Church, trade agreements and defence deals. It is Africa that is asking Moscow to step up its presence. The West stands by and watches.

More beautiful and more modern than ever! There is nostalgia, there is the Soviet model, but above all there is the cultural and mental breakdown that poses the greatest threat to our country: misoneism. Hatred of anything new simply because it is new

 At 20, Kimi Antonelli already possesses the maturity of an adult, even though he still enjoys joking around like a child and hasn’t lost the light-heartedness of his age. Family, friends, Senna, Toto Wolff, tagliatelle and Mercedes: a journey into his world.

In four years, the Prime Minister has normalised the Italian right, reconciled sovereignty and pro-Europeanism, supported Ukraine and defended public finances without being swept away by Trump and Salvini. Proceeding along a course that has surprised both allies and opponents, without making rash statements, remains the best course of action

The Russian Commissioner for Human Rights, Yana Lantratova, arrived in the city accompanied by a number of journalists invited to observe the humanitarian operation. The Kremlin’s praise for Melania Trump and its “deepest gratitude to the troops” – the very same troops that have been holding the city hostage since April 2022

Leaders hold talks for three hours and a roadmap emerges: a programme by November, to be discussed by Renzi – despite Conte’s latest attacks – and the centrists from next week onwards. In December, demonstrations against the budget and “in support of an alternative to Meloni”. Delegations from the PD, M5S and AVS are taking part in the USB strike

From glaziers expressing gratitude for the smashed shop windows to the manure piled up outside Turin City Hall, right through to mothers writing down their solicitor’s number on their children’s arms. The Interior Ministry’s preventative measures have worked, but there remains a certain rebellious childishness to contend with, which is also fostered by adults.

A WSJ report reveals details of the operation that maintains the naval blockade against Iran whilst ensuring the safe passage of merchant ships. According to Centcom, 1.5 billion barrels of oil have been exported in this way since the summer

The tax burden on growth. Eurostat figures paint a picture of a country with one of the highest tax burdens in Europe and an economy growing at a slow pace. Financial stability is essential, but without reforms it risks becoming a mere excuse

While the search for him continues, Edoardo remains in Inspector Grillo’s custody. However, Rosa has now had a sudden insight. Meanwhile, Mori is blackmailing Marina, demanding money in exchange for his silence.

In the Senate, Fratelli d’Italia group leader Buonguerrieri and Lega MP Claudio Borghi are setting the direction of the inquiry: to exonerate those who protested against health policies and to hope for legal consequences for those who supported them. An ideological verdict in search of evidence

When the Serbian goalkeeper returns to the pitch after spending some time on the bench, he gives his all. Napoli fans know this all too well. Monza midfielder Manga Foe Ondoa knows this all too well.

For the first time, a Pope has taken part in a political election: Leo XIV has posted his ballot paper for the US mid-term elections. In the past, he has voted in both Democratic and Republican primaries. The Vatican asserts the right and duty to participate in democracy, but on social media the race is already on to assign him a political affiliation.

Angelo Bonelli, Giuseppe Conte, Nicola Fratoianni and Elly Schlein reveal the next steps in building the centre-left alliance. “A mobilisation in December. The programme will be finalised from next week. Opposition parties represented in Parliament will be at the negotiating table.” The statement follows a three-hour video conference meeting

With iOS 27.2, the ‘Ask why they’re calling’ feature has also arrived in Italian. The iPhone checks unknown numbers before letting the phone ring. In the United States, the feature has been active for over a year, but initial data puts the idea of a revolution into perspective. In Italy, however, it could still become an important defence against unsolicited telemarketing calls.
