Italy has approved a new national day of remembrance for journalists who have lost their lives while performing their duties, following a unanimous Senate vote on a bill that designates May 3 as the commemorative date. The government announced that every year on that day the country will honor those journalists who died while ensuring the public’s right to information. President Giorgia Meloni named several victims, including Cosimo Cristina, Mauro De Mauro, and Ilaria Alpi, among others, emphasizing that their dedication should be remembered. The decision aims to recognize the sacrifices made by reporters and reinforce the importance of press freedom in Italy and abroad.
