<p>NEW YORK (USA) (ITALPRESS) – New York continues to become more and more secure. In the first nine months of 2026 the city recorded the lowest number of murders, shootings and people hit by firearms since the beginning of the survey.</p>
<p>To present the new data at One Police Plaza were mayor Zohran Mamdani and police commissioner Jessica Tisch, according to which the decline of crime continued during a particularly busy summer for the city. From January to September 203 murders were recorded, 50 less than the same period of 2025, a decrease close to 20%. The shooting victims were 594 versus 694 last year. Compared to 2021 there are even 846 less, a decline of almost 60%. Only in the third quarter the shooting decreased by 23% and the affected by 28%.</p>
<p>“We had the safest summer in New York history for shooting, shooting victims and murders,” said Mamdani. The mayor underlined that in the first eight months of the year five thousand crimes had already been reported less than 2025 and how the decline affected all five boroughs. The overall picture presented by NYPD indicates a decrease of almost 7% of the seven main crimes, with over 6 thousand complaints less than the same period last year. The Bronx leads the improvement with a drop of 12%, while Brooklyn and Manhattan both record a less 7%.</p>
<p>They disengage 12% of the robberies, almost 14% of thefts with dig and 12% of the car thefts. Large thefts decrease by almost 6%, while the shoplift has dropped by over 12%, almost 5 thousand episodes less. The police also seized more than 4,000 illegal weapons from the beginning of the year.</p>
<p>Mamdani has attributed the results to the joint work of police and violence prevention programs in communities. Tisch emphasised the NYPD’s “precision policing” strategy: analysis of data, concentration of agents in areas and at times most at risk, seizure of illegal weapons and gang operations. A more contrasted picture emerges in the subway. In August there were no rapes or shootings and the robberies were the lowest ever recorded in that month. In the entire 2026, however, major crimes in the transport system increased by 0.9%, especially for the increase of 11% of serious aggression. According to Tisch, almost half of these were committed by people with previous documented mental health problems.</p>
<p>Right on this point emerges one of the first indications of the Mamdani strategy. Asked about the possibility to further increase the agents in the subway during the winter, the mayor assured “full confidence” in NYPD, without excluding any measure, but insisted on the need to address the social causes of the problem, increasing the shelters to prevent the homeless being forced to seek shelter in the subway.</p>
<p>Tisch has specified that the program that finances 5 thousand additional hours per day of police overtime in the subway will continue and will not suffer cuts. Other negative signals remain. Severe assaults increased by 0.2% and rape reported by 4%, although a quarter of the complaints were reported in previous years. Above all, hate crimes have increased by 13% since the beginning of the year. 53% of confirmed episodes were targeting Jewish citizens. “We will not allow ourselves to become complacent,” said Mamdani. For the mayor, even with statistics at the lowest historians, “one crime in our city is already a crime of too much.”.</p>

Culture is one of the most fertile soils in the broad partnership between the two governments. The agreement signed today opens a new page in our cooperation and lays the ground for a series of initiatives that will enhance their cultural heritage.&#8221; The Minister of Culture, Alessandro Giuli, said this at the end of the cordial meeting he had today at the Roman College with the Minister of Cultural Heritage and Tourism of the Sultanate of Oman, Sayyid Ibrahim bin Said Al Busaidi.</p>
<p>On the occasion, the two Ministers signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in the fields of cultural heritage and museums, which follows the auspices, expressed by His Majesty the Sultan Haitham bin Tarik and the President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni on the occasion of their meeting in Mascate on 14 January 2026, of a further development of bilateral cultural exchanges.</p>
<p>The understanding lays the foundations for new collaborations in the management, protection, restoration and valorisation of cultural heritage, also through exchanges of experts and training courses in the fields of archaeology, museumology and museumography. The two ministers also expressed appreciation for the fruitful collaboration already in place, testified, last but not least, by the success of the exhibition &#8220;Oman and Italy: Two millenniums of Dialogue between Civilization”, created by the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan in collaboration with the National Museum of Mascate.</p>

To conquer it were Mattia Cattaneo, Marco Frigo and Matteo Sobrero to the mschile and Elisa Longo Borghini, Monica Trinca Colonel and Alessia Vigilia to the female.</p>
<p>Compared to the blue team who graduated world champion on September 22, in Montreal, two changes: outside Filippo Ganna and Vittoria Guazzini, inside Frigo and Vigilia. The blues closed today’s test in second position behind France’s 1’12”, which made its gold medal. Third square and bronze for Luxembourg, at 3’34” by transalpines. For Italy it is the fifth medal in this continental festival, after the silver of Giulio Ciccone, the bronze of Christian Scaroni and the rims of Azzurra Ballan and the Juniors mixed bracket.</p>
<p>“We knew it would be a very different test than that of the World Championships, also because the route was completely different. We tried to do our best, but France was stronger and I congratulate them. We also knew that Monica Trinca Colonel had not been well since yesterday and this definitely did not help us. That said, I believe that on such a path France was also favored for the team he had deployed,&#8221; said Mattia Cattaneo at the end of today&#8217;s trial. For the blues, including Cattaneo, Europeans are not yet finished. “Today there is a chronometer test. I would love to do well, I will try to recover from today and get a good result. We will see,” added the blue. Tomorrow, in fact, there will be the last day of races in Ljubljana: space at the individual time of all categories, with the blue again protagonists on the Slovenian roads.</p>

We are in a closed street and in front of our house, I say rightly because I understand the work of people, but you have journalists who are fixed all day. It is difficult, today I am not living because really my life today is either closed in the room or by the lawyer or away when we go to meet with consultants. My life is that.” This is what Andrea Sempio says in Porta a Porta su Rai 1. If my parents are afraid of me? “Obviously, who would not be afraid in this situation, is taken for granted. The worst day in these two years was, I think, the last time my mom went to the hospital,” he recalls.</p>
<p>“For me, that imprint 33 is neither attributable to me nor to anyone else, if we cannot convince a judge of this, it is fine, but it is on a wall where there are fingerprints of other people. Today, from the last advisory deposited by the Prosecutor you do not get to say that it is bloody, you get to say that you cannot exclude that there was no blood; to me however you do not need to know that you cannot exclude, you need a certainty. All the shoes I remember and that I have at home, even old, are number 44. Speaking of the dna under the nails “the conclusion of the Albani expertise was: with that trace we can not do anything, it is not a solid trace, it is not replicated, it is mixed and degraded. It seems to me that the dna speech is now resolved,” he adds</p>
<p>“I see the elements one by one frankly I think it’s all explainable, my only doubt is, since I think there will be so much stuff to evaluate and different elements, I hope I can solve everything in a preliminary hearing and not have to face a real process with all the various degrees. As much as you can feel confident about certain elements, however, you will have to be able to explain it in the classroom and it is not so automatic, so the thought that can be at the prison is there, but frankly I try not to punish us and not to imagine that possibility,” he admits.</p>
<p>“For what I can understand, according to me the condemnation” of Alberto Stasi “is right, there are things that do not convince me in the alternative story that would see him innocent. Some things raised do not convince me, it seems to me that they are more logical explained as they have been explained at the time,” concludes Sempio.</p>

The two leaders expressed satisfaction with the solidity of bilateral relations and shared the goal of further strengthening cooperation, with particular attention to the strategic sectors of defence and energy.</p>
<p>The conversation allowed a comparison of the main European priorities, even in view of the forthcoming Lithuanian presidency of the Council of the European Union, starting from the strengthening of competitiveness and the European industrial base and the need to structurally reduce energy costs for families and enterprises.</p>
<p>The importance of a multiannual financial framework adapted to the Union’s ambitions has been highlighted, ensuring sufficient resources for both new strategic priorities and traditional policies, starting from cohesion and agriculture.</p>
<p>The two leaders also discussed the management of migration flows and the need to strengthen the external dimension of European action. The interview focused on the main international scenarios, starting from the common commitment to a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="150" height="100" src="https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Kaliningrad-Militari-ZDMu4e.webp" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" /><p>MOSCA (RUSSIA) (ITALPRESS) – Moscow raises the level of warning about NATO’s military reinforcement along the eastern flank, focusing attention on Kaliningrad and Lithuania. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, at the end of the talks with the homologue of Timor-Leste Bendito dos Santos Freitas, said that Russia follows the indications on the new allied plans and “resta vigile”, while saying to look “philosophically” to news on NATO’s preparation for a possible conflict.</p>
<p>Lavrov recalled the recent words of Vladimir Putin, according to which an attack against Kaliningrad or any other Russian region would receive “one answer”. On the same line the spokesman of the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov, according to which the possible displacement in Lithuania of further NATO infrastructure and, above all, of nuclear weapons would constitute “another significant escalation of tensions” and would force Moscow to adopt “all the necessary measures to ensure its safety”.</p>
<p>The declarations come as the Alliance consolidates the Regional Defence Plans, the Forward Land Forces and Eastern Sentry activities along the eastern border, measures that NATO defines “defensive, proportionate and transparent”.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Theory of Victory&#8221;, the operational concept that Saceur, General Alexus Grynkewich, should present on 12 October in Poland and aims to integrate conventional forces, unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, stratified defences and targeting capabilities to stop any aggression.</p>
<p>Peskov finally dismissed as “totally unfounded” the German accusations about the so-called Russian “shade war” in Europe, claiming that they would serve to build “an ephemeral enemy” to justify the increase in military spending. The comparison thus returns two opposite readings of the same process: for Moscow the expansion of allied devices increases the risk of escalation; for NATO the strengthening of the East flank serves to make deterrence credible and to prevent a conflict from starting.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="150" height="100" src="https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Bernini-IPA-1-M2LTTW.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" /><p>ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Transparency, programming and international opening. These are the principles behind the new guidelines for the management of public research notices and the evaluation of proposals, presented today at the Ministry of University and Research by Minister Anna Maria Bernini, along with the Senator Elena Cattaneo and Matteo Bassetti, Chairman of the Group of Experts on Research Financing Procedures.</p>
<p>The work was born with the aim of making more homogeneous, clear and transparent the procedures for financing and evaluation of Italian research. “We are proud to present a method, we have found great excellence but also unevenness,” Bernini explained. “Researchers need rigour, certainty and transparency,” added the ministra, stressing the importance of greater band programming. Among the objectives of the new guidelines there is also a greater internationalization of evaluation processes. “Dedicated and internationalized assessment criteria”, Bernini stressed, talking about the need to make the Italian evaluation “more aggregable to foreign research projects”. “Having more homogeneous research lines makes us more appealing and more able to communicate with everyone,” he added.</p>
<div class="resp-container"></div>
<p>The new approach is part of the Triennial Research Plan 2026-2028, which includes investments for approximately 1.2 billion euros per year. In 2026 new instruments and financing programmes are also planned, including PRIN HYBRID and Synergy Grant, for a total value of €364 million for 239 projects. Particular attention is paid to the evaluation of the proposals. Among the indications is a greater international openness of the processes, with the involvement of scientists belonging to foreign institutions and Italian researchers working outside the country. Central remains the peer review system, with the aim of strengthening the quality and reliability of project evaluation.</p>
<p>The guidelines also provide for the valorisation, alongside scientific publications, of other forms of production and transfer of knowledge. A chapter also covers the use of artificial intelligence in application procedures, for which clear rules are indicated and the need to keep the researcher responsible for the content presented. Another element concerns the strengthening of the autonomy of young researchers, through tools capable of fostering mobility and independent research paths. Bernini also spoke on the theme of youth and international mobility. “The phenomenon of brains on the run is not pathological when it is a choice and not an obligation,” said the ministra.</p>
<p>“We put everyone in condition, through a scholarship, to be able to experience abroad.” Bernini recalled that “from 2022 we have invested 11 billion in centres of excellence” and that now “we must give the opportunity to young people to return”. According to the ministra, moreover, “there are more young people who return than those who leave, the trend has reversed”. The Ministry also provided for greater certainty in the publication of information relating to bands and rankings. “Every 30 April will be published the years and on 30 September, already from this year, we have made the rankings,” explained Bernini, defining that on the new guidelines “a teamwork” that “is still present elements of improvement”.</p>
<p>For Bassetti, “the direction is that of greater internationalization and meritocracy of all that is Italian scientific research”. The Chairman of the Expert Group spoke of the need to “modernize the evaluation of research”, stressing that “scientific research is fundamental for the growth of a country”. The objective, he added, is to go towards “more transparency and greater quality of evaluation”.</p>
<p>Cattaneo also stressed the importance of the document. “The document defines the architecture of how the ideas of the many Italian researchers must be evaluated,” he explained. “Importing these guidelines, you will now have to implement them.” For the senator to life “Italian research is hard sailing”, but “having guidelines that increase trust towards institutions is already an important step”. Cattaneo also defined “important” for researchers the programming of bands initiated by the ministry.</p>
<p>The new guidelines aim to make the Italian research system more transparent, meritocratic, programmable and open to international comparison, with the aim of guaranteeing researchers more homogeneous procedures and greater certainty in access to funding.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="150" height="150" src="https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/MDM-HIF-2026-150x150.webp" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" />
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 100th edition of the Hoboken Italian Festival, The Feast of Madonna dei Martiri, has come to a close after four days that brought together New Jersey and the New York skyline. It is the largest Italian event in North America, and it was born from the devotion of the community from Molfetta.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the centennial, Molfetta responded with unprecedented participation: 150 people traveled from the town to the United States, including Bishop Domenico Basile with eight priests, Molfetta Mayor Manuel Minervini, two bands, and groups of young people, families and devotees.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behind the organization of the centennial edition is the work of Roberto Pansini, who has spent nearly twenty years building relationships and cultural projects between the United States and Puglia, and who is International Ambassador of the Madonna dei Martiri Society of Hoboken. Drawing on his knowledge of the American territory, the Sunday before the festival he brought a group of Apulians to Old St. Patrick&#8217;s Cathedral, in the heart of SoHo, the first Catholic cathedral in New York. The noon Mass on Sunday, September 6 was celebrated by Father Luigi Portarulo, with Father Ignazio Pansini as concelebrant, who had come from Molfetta to accompany the community of emigrants on the road to the festival&#8217;s centennial.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Centennial Novena was held, as always, at St. Francis Church, with one exception: on September 8, after fifty years, the celebration took place at St. Ann&#8217;s Church in Hoboken, where it all began and which houses the first statue of the Madonna dei Martiri, made by the Molfetta sculptor Giulio Cozzoli, the same artist behind the Holy Week statues of Molfetta. The church was full, on the same day that Molfetta celebrated its patronal feast in honor of the Madonna dei Martiri.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/HIF-GROUP-2026-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-115358" srcset="https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/HIF-GROUP-2026-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/HIF-GROUP-2026-300x169.webp 300w, https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/HIF-GROUP-2026-768x432.webp 768w, https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/HIF-GROUP-2026.webp 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The four days of festivities ran from September 10 to 13. The Mass on September 12, the day of the procession, was held at St. Francis Church, which was packed, with Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, Hudson County Bishop Pedro Bismarck and the Bishop of Molfetta in attendance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the centennial, the members of the Madonna dei Martiri Society wore a special outfit, a white jacket, black collar, bow tie and polished shoes, inspired by a photograph from the 1950s. 3D medals were also made and handed to the members of the Society and to the young people of San Corrado, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the emigrants who carry the saint&#8217;s bust on their shoulders; the devout women created a medal of their own as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The festival continued with music from the Molfetta baritone Antonio Stragapede and the Dio Lo Vuole Band, which came from Molfetta for the third year in a row. At 2 p.m., fireworks marked the Madonna&#8217;s departure, followed by boarding on three boats that sailed down the Hudson River to Ground Zero, where a minute of silence honored the victims of September 11 and red roses were thrown into the water. The procession then passed in front of the Statue of Liberty and continued toward Pier A.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the first time in the festival&#8217;s history, at 9 p.m. the sky over Hoboken lit up with a drone show that retraced a century of history: a ship crossing the ocean, the churches of Hoboken and Molfetta, the 100th anniversary logo, the Statue of Liberty, the 250 years of the United States, and finally the image of the Madonna and Child.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ilNewyorkese dedicated a special issue to the festival, distributed across New York and New Jersey. Among the side events were a visit to the town hall of Little Ferry with Mayor Mauro Raguseo, a lunch at Leo&#8217;s Restaurant, open for almost 90 years and run by four generations of Molfetta emigrants, and an official evening in Weehawken with the mayors of several New Jersey towns and the Mayor of Molfetta. On that occasion, Frank Tattoli invited Roberto Pansini to speak in front of more than 100 attendees; Pansini introduced Francesco Visaggio, representing Molfetta&#8217;s Pro Loco, the local tourism association, and together they presented symbolic crests and pennants to the institutions and associations that keep the Molfetta tradition alive. A book was also presented that brings together the history of the festival, the beauty of Puglia, the wedding world and roots tourism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The visit to Hoboken is also tied to the new direct flight between Newark and Bari, with Newark about 15 minutes from Hoboken. The association Oll Muvi, known through the I Love Molfetta project and chaired by Pansini, also took part.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="150" height="113" src="https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/20261006_2902-lO12BC.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" /><p>SAN DONATO MILANESE (MILANO) (ITALPRESS) – An opportunity not only to celebrate an adventure lasting a quarter of a century but also to present a new version: the Mini Untamed edition, which becomes part of the product offer of Mini Countryman as a special edition, expanding the range of its largest model with a new variant particularly robust and adventure oriented.</p>
<p>“A constant that Mini has always had is the ability to express the personality of the guide – said Federica Manzoni, Head of Mini Italia -. The fact that today we have special editions is precisely to witness this peculiarity. And today, with the unveiling of the Untamed edition, we celebrate the adventurous spirit of our brand.” The car highlights qualities that are already part of the DNA of MINI Countryman: robustness, versatility and spirit of exploration. At the centre of the renewed exterior design there is a reinterpretation of the front grille, characterized by a vertical geometry while the new angle inserts emphasise the vertical setting and give the vehicle an even more decisive aspect. Finished in the exclusive Dark Steel color, the grid frame creates a strong impact, strengthening the premium character of the car. The external colors developed specifically for the Untamed Edition are inspired by natural, terrose and mineral shades. In addition to the exclusive Hideaway Grey and Nomad Blue colours, Nanuq White and Midnight Black will also be available. Nomad Blue will be made available in the Frozen variant in March 2027 and will be the first opaque coating to be introduced in the production of Mini series.</p>
<div class="resp-container"></div>
<p>Its surface changes the perception of vehicle proportions, enhancing surfaces and lines and creating a particularly sculptural and premium look. The roof will be available in Glazed White and Jet Black colors. Among the features of the new edition are the new Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires, mounted on exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels with a dedicated design. These guarantee a higher traction and give the vehicle a stronger and stronger presence.<br />
The testurized protective films applied to the wheel, the side miniskirts and the Power Dome help protect the body, while emphasising the robust character of the edition. The new protection elements underscore in Dark Steel finish, along with the exclusive Untamed logo on the C-mountain, further strengthen its distinctive identity.</p>
<p>The new car also offers an optional roof curtain, developed with the Italian brand Autohome, which can be opened in seconds thanks to integrated gas pistons. Materials resistant to weather, panoramic openings and an interior studied in detail make it particularly useful for outdoors. Mini also collaborated with the Helinox company to create an exclusive camping collection that includes folding chairs and camping tables.</p>
<p>ABS, DSC and steering systems have been specifically calibrated to fit all-terrain tires and, in combination with the ALL4 intelligent integral traction, the edition offers greater grip and driving safety on a wide variety of surfaces while an optional towing hook allows up to 2,000 kg. The roof capacity is up to 75 kg during the march and up to 300 kg per vehicle.</p>
<p>“A beautiful birthday to celebrate today, that of the new Mini, the Mini under the aegis of the BMW group – said Sergio Solero, CEO of BMW Italy -. Obviously we all know the Mini Classic, designed by Issigonis, but in 2001 we launched our first Mini under the BMW group, which then evolved over time, with various versions, new cars, the cabrio version and the electric versions, which today are a great success also on the Italian market. More than 10% of the Mini we sell in Italy has an electric powertrain and, meanwhile, the Mini Countryman has become the most chosen Mini by Italians: about 48% of the Mini sold in our country is now a Countryman.</p>
<div class="resp-container"></div>
<p>We want to celebrate the 25 years of Mini with a special edition – it has emphasized -, the Untamed Edition, that we present preview today, with deliveries from January next year. It is a version that brings the outdoor values and experiences together, on the model of Mini Countryman we know, with a very special design and a nice collaboration with a tent on the roof, to really enjoy an open-air weekend,” he concluded. Since its launch on the Italian market in 2001 under the management of the BMW Group, the MINI brand has recorded an extraordinary commercial success, exceeding the total 480.000 units delivered in Italy, of which 350,000 still circulating today.</p>
<p>Presented in September 2001, in just four years the car has exceeded 86,000 units sold in the country, electing Italy immediately among the reference markets globally, thanks to the appreciation for design and sports guidance. At the classic Hatch versions, strategic successes such as the MINI Countryman, which for example represents 48% of the total sales of the brand in Italy. In recent years MiniI has also deeply renewed its range by extending the offer of electric motorizations, recording a strong appreciation of the Italian public with a sales percentage of purely electric models of 10%.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="150" height="100" src="https://morningitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Nazionale-uUuUPa.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" /><p>by Enrico Currò</p>
<p>BOLOGNA (ITALPRESS) – After 3-1 to Turkey and the arithmetic certification of the fact that, at least, the National will place third in its group of League A of the Nations League, that is to say it will be head of series in the qualification to the European of 2028, Roberto</p>
<p>Mancini did not overlook the heaviest criticism for 0-2 at the Olimpico with Belgium, underlining that the European title of 2021 and the 37 consecutive useful results were overlooked too quickly. In the construction of the future, however, Italy is ahead of schedule. The young talents are the senators and can also make their contribution to the Under-21 of Baldini, qualified for the final stage of the European category, where they will look for the so-called ticket for the Olympics 2028.</p>
<p>His best players, from Ndour to Pisilli and Koelosho, are ready to respond to the call of the National Major. Mancini said he was not at all surprised at the 7 points collected in the first 4 days of the Nations: a sign that he had taken into account the 2 victories with Turkey and 1 draw and 1 defeat between Belgium and France, although he likely planned to draw home with the Belgians and lose away with the French and instead happened the opposite.</p>
<p>Waiting for the final duels of November – in Milan with France and in Brussels with Belgium – to decide which 2 teams of the group will enter among the top 8 of the Nations, can still archive with satisfaction game and results of this long autumn window reserved to Nationals.</p>
<p>The new Italy started well. The applauses of Bologna, overlapping with the whistles of Rome, show that the fans had fun. It works tactically on the 4-3-3 revised and updated compared to the winning one of 5 years ago. But above all there is an effective generational replacement. They had to notice the veterans Barella, Di Lorenzo and Gianluca Mancini, who were declassified. Even those who stayed at home for injuries (Dimarco, Criden, Zaniolo) know they must accept the competition for a blue knitted spot. The promotion of the long autumn window of the Nations is first the owners of the most delicate match, 1-1 in France.</p>
<p>On Donnarumma in the door, Defence Leader Sticks, Left Tertiary Calafiori and Tonali playmaker there were no too many doubts. They passed the examination Frattesi and Fagioli half wings, Central Defender Scalvini, Pio Esposito centrivanti, Kean external-second tip. Pio has led Mancini to the comparisons with Vieri and Toni. Kean in Saint-Denis devoured a goal, but it was an alarming presence for opponents. In Bursa Raspadori the classic 12th man of proven reliability has been confirmed.</p>
<p>The beautiful surprises of this Nations turned out to be Kayode, a right-hand side of remarkable race and power, and Sebastiano Esposito, who from outside accented as a refinish behind his brother Pio showed imagination and availability to the hairpin sacrifice. In the role, indifferently on the left or right, they did not disfigure Cambiaghi, Daniel Maldini and Vergara: they will be monitored in the championship, although the fantasist of Naples has injured in the final in Bologna with Turkey. Among the alternatives in their respective roles were Ruggeri (left teen), Doumbia (sometimes inaccessible curve) and Romano, who did not depress for the difficult debut with Belgium as a playmaker and closed better by a halfway against the Turks. Scamacca will be reviewed, which lost the comparison with Pio Esposito, despite the goal of Bologna. From Saudi Arabia she plans to return to her mentor’s plans Mancini the orifice Retegui.</p>
<p>As for the rejected ones, in theory they are Mandragora and Ricci, finished in the tribune in the last game, and Zoma, after the kick-off debut in Rome. The 18-year-old Ahanor, ceded to Baldini for Italy-Polonia Under 21, and Samuele Inacio want to return among the convoked in November, as Ghilardi who in Coverciano made an apprentice.</p>
<p>The competition will be ruthless: Leoni of Liverpool, healed by the serious injury to the knee, Figc counts on the central of Udinese Palma, which has not yet chosen between Italy and Germany. The real baked, however, can arrive from the Weight 21. Many of the Azzurri have made their debut in National during Baldini&#8217;s short interim and hope to return. Unlucky Favasuli, the list is headed by Ndour, Koleosho and Pisilli, but also includes Bartesaghi, Cisse, Liberali, Comuzzo, Chiarodia, Faticanti, Cherubini, Fini and Lipani: group and, hopefully, qualified.</p>
