Today, Italy is celebrating the centenary of its air force: 28 March 1923 marked the beginning of a captivating, all-Italian story, characterised by love for our homeland, courage, professionalism and generosity, which has carried our tricolour around the world. The Government expresses its gratitude to the men and women of the Italian Air Force, who keep our skies safe every day, operate in international peacekeeping and stability missions, are committed to helping people affected by natural disasters and provide emergency medical transportation, especially for children.

A seguito degli incontri del Ministro per gli Affari europei, del Sud, delle politiche di coesione e PNRR, Raffaele Fitto, con il Commissario europeo per l’Economia, Paolo Gentiloni, e con la task force PNRR della Commissione Ue, è stato concordato di prolungare di un mese la fase di assessment per consentire ai servizi della Commissione di completare le attività tecniche di campionamento e verifica, proseguendo la proficua discussione che ha già consentito di valutare positivamente la maggior parte dei target fissati per il 31 dicembre 2022.
