Press Prism About

Italy

Italian press swings between anxious international coverage (NATO shooting down a drone over Lithuania, US weapons in space, Trump vs. the Supreme Court) and turbulent domestic politics — Meloni's severance-pay and Schengen-border decisions under opposition fire, Emma Bonino's bipartisan state funeral, family doctors on strike — punctuated by strikingly humane stories (a restaurant keeping its autistic staff working, Michael J.
