The day was dominated by Pope Leo XIV's visit to Lampedusa, echoing Pope Francis's 2013 trip. From early morning, outlets led with his prayer at the migrant cemetery, crossing the Porta d'Europa, and calling Europe to an 'epochal responsibility' for migrants. The visit drew continuous live coverage, with the Pope's gestures and words framed as a rebuke to Trump's immigration stance. In the afternoon, attention shifted to Wimbledon, where Cobolli beat Khachanov in a five-set marathon and Paolini advanced, while Berrettini and Sonego were eliminated. The World Cup match Argentina-Cape Verde, ending 3-2 in extra time, also drew significant coverage. Other stories included Trump's Mount Rushmore speech rejecting communism, the start of Khamenei's six-day funeral in Tehran, a fentanyl theft investigation in Rome, and a stabbing in Milan.
