New details have emerged in the tragic femicide case of Lorena Isceri, with preliminary autopsy results indicating she was still alive when her ex-partner, Federico Vella, threw her from a highway viaduct. Further testimony from Isceri's mother has shed light on a pattern of escalating threats and violence that preceded her murder.
Meanwhile, internal government tensions have risen due to a dispute between Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani over 'Dublin' returns, highlighting divisions within the ruling coalition. Concurrently, new polls show far-right politician Roberto Vannacci's National Future party gaining significant ground, approaching 8% in national projections.
In a more positive development, an OECD-PISA report has highlighted the strong performance of Italian students, who are reportedly leading their French and German counterparts in reading skills. The report also explored the role of Artificial Intelligence in education and student absenteeism.
