08.01.2025Flight That Brought Her Home
The morning headlines focused on Trump's territorial claims about Panama and Greenland, which generated diplomatic responses. This narrative shifted abruptly when news broke of Cecilia Sala's release from Iran's Evin prison, following Meloni's Mar-a-Lago diplomacy.

The afternoon centered on Sala's landing at Ciampino airport at 16:15, with Meloni and Tajani present. Coverage evolved from initial flight updates to emotional reunion scenes with family. Her first message to colleagues - "Ciao, sono tornata" - became a recurring theme across outlets.

By evening, attention turned to broader diplomatic implications. U.S. sources emphasized this was "Italy's decision," while Tajani denied any payment to Iran. The Treasury's record-breaking BTp bond demand (€270 billion) received limited coverage, overshadowed by Sala's return. Opposition media notably shifted from criticizing to acknowledging the diplomatic achievement.
