The day began with prominent coverage of Jannik Sinner's victory in the US Open semifinal, securing his place in the final against Alcaraz. Concurrently, President Mattarella's address at the Cernobbio Forum, emphasizing Europe's role and critique of global corporations, also garnered significant media attention. By mid-morning, the focus shifted to the escalating Gaza conflict, with reports of Israel's evacuation order for Gaza City, subsequent bombings, and rising casualties, including deaths from alleged starvation. The afternoon saw intense live coverage of the Italian women's volleyball team's hard-fought victory against Brazil, propelling them into the World Cup final. However, the dominant editorial priority by evening became the Venice Film Festival awards, where actress Benedetta Porcaroli and actor Toni Servillo dedicated their awards to the "Flotilla" and Palestine, respectively, while the film "The Voice of Hind Rajab" (on a Gaza child's drama) won a major prize. This strongly linked the cultural event to the Gaza conflict, amplifying calls against atrocities.
