Port workers across Italy have begun a 24-hour national strike, halting operations at terminals nationwide. The stoppage is expected to disrupt cargo loading, unloading and shipping schedules until the action ends. Details on the specific grievances behind the strike and which unions are leading it were not immediately available, though port labour disputes in Italy typically centre on pay, contracts and working conditions.

Students and school workers rallied outside Italy's parliament in Rome on Friday to protest a government decree that would cap foreign pupils at 30% per class and restrict face coverings in schools. Demonstrators say the rules stigmatise migrant students and undermine integration. The measures, backed by the Meloni government, have sparked a heated national debate over classroom composition and inclusion in Italian schools.
