The morning was dominated by the diplomatic opening in Abu Dhabi, where Italian editors tracked the first formal trilateral summit between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States. Following overnight Kremlin meetings between Putin and Trump’s envoys, mainstream outlets focused on the territorial dispute over the Donbass and Zelensky’s pivot toward American security guarantees. Simultaneously, the cultural elite gathered in Rome for the funeral of designer Valentino Garavani, providing a stark contrast to the geopolitical tension. By early afternoon, editorial priority shifted to the Rome summit between Prime Minister Meloni and German Chancellor Merz. Headlines emphasized a new bilateral defense protocol and a unified European stance regarding potential U.S. tariffs. However, the evening headlines were eclipsed by an institutional clash with Switzerland following the release of Jacques Moretti on bail. Meloni and her ministers characterized the Swiss court's decision regarding the Crans-Montana tragedy as an 'outrage,' signaling a significant diplomatic rift.
