The day opened with the Venezuela double earthquake still dominating, its death toll rising to 164 and over 1,000 injured, with Tajani confirming no Italian victims. By late morning, FS CEO Donnarumma resigned under pressure from Salvini and Giorgetti after service disruptions. Iran accused Italy of complicity in US strikes, prompting Crosetto to warn of serious consequences. In the afternoon, the Meloni-Macron summit in Antibes stressed Franco-Italian defense cooperation and a Lebanon coalition. But the editorial focus shifted decisively in the evening: the Cassation confirmed definitive convictions for the 2009 Viareggio train disaster, with former FS CEO Mauro Moretti sentenced to prison. This story, tying into the day's earlier FS turmoil, became the lead across outlets, overshadowing the earthquake's updated toll of 188 dead and an Italian-Venezuelan victim.
