Overview
- During visits to the Nisida juvenile facility, the Santobono pediatric hospital and the Rossini institute, President Sergio Mattarella emphasized that school is the vehicle for the future and a right open to all.
- At the Rossini ceremony he urged defense of diverse opinions, called for tough action against bullying and warned that social media can be used as weapons that wound deeply.
- He cautioned that relying on artificial intelligence for shortcuts dulls learning and risks turning a tool into a power over its users, urging critical capacity in students.
- Pro‑Palestine student demonstrations took place nearby with roughly 100 participants reaching the former NATO base, and singer Jovanotti voiced support for peaceful protests while joining the Nisida visit.
- Local Bagnoli activists delivered requests on bradisismo and housing safety to the presidential delegation, as Mattarella also told children at Santobono that war is incomprehensible and that their generation can help prevent it.
