Italian newspapers primarily focused on the confirmed August 15 Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, initially highlighting a proposed "territory exchange" for peace, a direct continuation from yesterday's news. Throughout the day, Ukrainian President Zelensky's firm rejection of ceding land without Kyiv's involvement was consistently reported. A key development emerged with reports indicating the White House was evaluating inviting Zelensky to the summit, despite his earlier exclusion. Concurrently, European and Kyiv's joint counter-proposal for a peace deal gained prominence, emphasizing a truce as a prerequisite before any territorial changes. This aligned with statements from Meloni and other European leaders asserting no peace without Ukraine's consent. Separately, international opposition to Israel's Gaza occupation plan escalated, with Italy among a growing number of nations condemning it. Domestically, the mobilization of national civil protection for a fire on Mount Vesuvius became a notable report.
