In the new issue of Panorama, Italy between turning points and fractures: Landini’s CGIL sheds its skin and abandons work for Gaza, climate and politics, while the far left regroups in the streets with increasingly radical tones. On the political front, the games for the Quirinale in 2029 agitate the Democratic Party and its allies, while in Milan the demolition of San Siro divides the city. In health, a revolution of civilization: Italy is the first country in the world to recognize obesity as a chronic disease.
The editor’s editorial:
It’s written Landini, but reads Mélenchon

The cover: Who are the wreckers
There far left galaxy Italian is reuniting around the pro-Palestine causewith a front that goes from social centers to anarchists up to grassroots unions. Intelligence reports a increase in aggression and above all a lowering the age of militantswith teenagers attracted to violence as a form of rebellion. While no signs of a new large-scale armed struggle are emerging, some fringes aim for subversion of the democratic order, evoking symbols and languages of years of lead. Among the most active groups are the Calp of GenoatheUSB, Communist Network, Power to the People and student collectives such as Dare And Changing Courseoften in contact with pro-Russian and pro-Palestinian circles. Experienced militants mingle in the squares, kids radicalized on social media and a new wave of “Islamic Maranza” second generation. The risk, security sources warn, is that the protest degenerates into violence, fueled by a climate of permanent revolt and from a dangerous process of clearance of hatred after 7 October, now increasingly presented as “resistance” rather than terrorism.
Politics – Piddini at breakneck speed
The regional elections underway could have a decisive effect on the future of Quirinale. For the first time, due to the reduction in the number of parliamentarians, the Regions will weigh more in the 2029 election of the President of the Republic. This scares the centre-leftwhich fears a takeover of centre-rightalready dominant today in 13 regions and with sufficient numbers to elect the next head of state. Thus they multiply underground maneuvers: Dario Franceschini, Renzi, Bettini And Count they each work on their own strategies and alliances to prevent Giorgia Melonsin 2029 fifty years old and therefore eligible, can become the first woman at the Quirinale. The centre-right, meanwhile, is considering a political barter: or the Democratic Party accepts the reform of premieredor FdI aims directly at Colle. In any case, today the winning cards seem to be in Meloni’s hands.
San Siro – A kick to the city
The Milan city council approved the sale of San Siro for 197 million euros, opening to demolition of the Meazza and the construction of a new stadium from 1.2 billionsigned Foster and Manica. The project, supported by Inter and Milan with American funds Oaktree And RedBirdmarks a historical turning point: instead of “Football ladder” a private plant will be created, of which only a part of the South curve will remain. The decision, seen as a cultural renderingcontrasts with the choices of many European cities — from Madrid to Londonfrom Liverpool to Berlin — that they have renovated their stages without erasing their memory. Restoring San Siro would have cost less than building a new one.
The Milanese stadium, theater of great endings, legends And iconic moments of world footballhas been for almost a century the identifying heart of Milan. With its end, the city loses not only a sports facility, but a collective symbol of its history.
Health – The “big” disease
Italy is the first country in the world to officially recognize theobesity as a chronic disease with the Pella lawapproved on October 2. A norm of civilization that aims to overcome it social stigma and to guarantee prevention, treatments and rights to the six million obese Italians. The law provides limited funds (1.7 million per year) and a gradual path to inclusion in Leahwhile discussing the reimbursement of new drugs anti-obesity, expensive but effective. Experts call for a pragmatic approach: invest in prevention today to reduce future costs of hospitalizations and complications.
As doctors remind, obesity is closely linked to diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and tumors. But the biggest challenge remains cultural: learn to see obesity as a pathology, not as a fault.
