08.06.2025 โ‡ข The day referendum turnout collapsed while Sinner lost epic final
โŒจItaly's referendum on citizenship and labor laws faced decisive failure as turnout remained catastrophically low throughout the day. By noon, only 7.4% had voted compared to 11.6% in 2011's successful referendum. The collapse continued through evening, reaching just 22% by polls' close - far below the required 50%+1 quorum. Prime Minister Meloni's symbolic gesture of voting without collecting referendum ballots drew particular attention.

Villa Pamphili's double murder investigation advanced as authorities identified the victims as an Eastern European woman aged 30-40 and her infant, launching a manhunt for a male suspect.

Roberto Spalletti's dismissal as national coach became official following Norway's devastating 3-0 defeat. The emotional coach acknowledged federation president Gravina's decision while stating he "wouldn't have given up."

At Roland Garros, Carlos Alcaraz completed a dramatic comeback against Jannik Sinner in the tournament's longest final, winning after five hours and twenty-nine minutes despite the Italian holding three match points.

International coverage focuses on the assassination attempt against Colombian presidential candidate Miguel Uribe, who was shot three times including twice in the head, with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio blaming "violent leftist rhetoric" for the attack (ANSA).

10:50โ‡ขEastern European Woman and Baby Identified in Villa Pamphili Murder

โŒจThe newspapers report on a breakthrough in the Villa Pamphili murder case, with authorities identifying the victims as an Eastern European woman aged 30-40 and her newborn baby, while launching a search for a male suspect (Adnkronos, Corriere Della Sera). Autopsies scheduled for Tuesday showed no signs of violence on the bodies initially. Italian tennis dominates sports coverage as Errani and Paolini compete in the Roland Garros women's doubles final against Krunic and Dalinina, with multiple sources providing live updates of the match that has reached a decisive third set (ANSA, La Repubblica, Sky TG24). HuffPost Italia critiques the recent Gaza demonstration, arguing that three out of four organizers incorrectly use the term "genocide" and calling for a different approach featuring both Palestinian and Israeli flags, as suggested by Holocaust survivor Edith Bruck.

โŒจThe newspapers report on Roberto Spalletti's dismissal as Italy's national football coach following the 3-0 defeat to Norway that compromised World Cup 2026 qualification (Adnkronos, La Repubblica, Sky TG24).

Tennis coverage focuses on the ongoing Roland Garros final between Sinner and Alcaraz, with Sinner winning the opening game after 12 minutes (ANSA, Corriere Della Sera).

โŒจThe newspapers report on the Roland Garros final taking a dramatic turn, with Carlos Alcaraz winning the third set 6-4 after Jannik Sinner had dominated the first two sets 6-4, 7-6 (Adnkronos, ANSA, Corriere Della Sera). Roberto Spalletti's dismissal as Italy's national coach becomes final, with the coach stating that federation president Gravina "relieved him of his duties" and that while he "had no intention of giving up," he must "acknowledge the dismissal" (Il Giornale, Sky TG24). Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz targets activist Greta Thunberg, calling her an "antisemite" and telling her and "her friends" to "go back" as a humanitarian ship challenges the Gaza maritime blockade carrying flour, rice, water purification kits, and medical supplies (HuffPost Italia).

18:23โ‡ขAlcaraz Breaks Sinner in Roland Garros Decider

โŒจThe newspapers report on the Roland Garros final reaching its decisive fifth set, with Carlos Alcaraz leading Jannik Sinner 4-2 and appearing close to victory after the Italian protested a line call (Adnkronos, ANSA, Corriere Della Sera, La Repubblica, Sky TG24). Alcaraz maintains his advantage with a break, continuing his recent dominance over Sinner who has lost their last four encounters including Rome. Meanwhile, referendum turnout remains critically low at 16% by 19:00, with only Emilia Romagna reaching 20% and Tuscany exceeding 22% - far below the 30% recorded at the same time in 2011 when the quorum was eventually surpassed (HuffPost Italia, Il Sole 24 Ore, La Stampa). Prime Minister Meloni voted but notably did not collect the ballot papers.

19:19โ‡ขAlcaraz Conquers Roland Garros After Five-Hour Epic

โŒจThe newspapers report on Carlos Alcaraz's victory at Roland Garros after defeating Jannik Sinner in an epic five-set final lasting over five hours, with the Italian squandering three match points before losing in a super tie-break (Adnkronos, ANSA, Corriere Della Sera, La Repubblica, Sky TG24). Sinner had dominated the opening two sets but Alcaraz mounted a dramatic comeback to claim his second consecutive French Open title. Meanwhile, referendum turnout remains critically low at 16.1% by 19:00, making the quorum virtually impossible to reach and highlighting the weakness of both Landini's mobilization efforts and the center-left's organizational capacity (HuffPost Italia, Il Sole 24 Ore, La Stampa). Prime Minister Meloni voted but notably did not collect the referendum ballot papers.

โŒจThe newspapers report on Italy's referendum reaching its conclusion with dramatically low turnout, finishing at 22% by 23:00 - far below the 50%+1 quorum needed for validity and significantly lower than the 41% recorded at the same time in 2011 (ANSA, Corriere Della Sera, La Repubblica, La Stampa, Sky TG24). The five abrogative questions on citizenship and labor laws appear destined to fail, with voting continuing until 15:00 Monday but the gap proving insurmountable. Prime Minister Meloni's symbolic gesture of attending her polling station without collecting the referendum ballots drew particular media attention. Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz completed his comeback victory over Jannik Sinner at Roland Garros in what Il Giornale describes as the longest final in tournament history, with the Italian surrendering three match points before losing in five sets (Il Giornale, Adnkronos).
