Vatican plans €100 million agrivoltaic plant near Rome
The Vatican is moving ahead with a roughly €100 million agrivoltaic plant at the Santa Maria di Galeria estate near Rome, expected to produce 80–90 megawatts and power Vatican Radio while advancing energy self-sufficiency for Vatican City; completion is anticipated within 18–24 months with potential surplus electricity shared with Italy and Holy See properties like Bambino Gesù hospital. The project, backed by a joint Italian-Vatican commission and supported by Pope Francis, will combine solar panels with agriculture and will not seek Italian household incentives.

Overview

Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a country in Southern and Western Europe. It consists of a peninsula that extends into the Mediterranean Sea, with the Alps on its northern land border, as well as nearly 800 islands, notably Sicily and Sardinia. Italy shares land borders with France to the west; Switzerland and Austria to the north; Slovenia to the east; and the two enclaves of Vatican City and San Marino. It is the tenth-largest country in Europe by area, covering 301,340 km2 (116,350 sq mi), and the third-most populous member state of the European Union, with nearly 59 million inhabitants. Rome is the capital of Italy; other major cities include Milan, Naples, Turin, Palermo, Bologna, Florence, Genoa, Bari, and Venice.

Notable quotes

“Bologna the rich (or fat), Florence the beautiful, Genoa the superb, Lucca the busy, Mantua the glorious, Milan the grand, Padua the strong, Pavia the learned, Venice the great beggar, Verona the worthy.”
— The cities of North Italy, with their distinguishing titles.
“A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see.”
— Samuel Johnson, Boswell, Life of Johnson.
“In Italia, chi si fa valere all'estero non viene considerato.”
— In Italy, those who make a name for themselves in other countries are ignored.
“Italy, having entered the war for gain and paid dearly in the outcome, emerged from the peace conference with a strong sense of grievance and with its system of government profoundly undermined. Steadily there after it became the endorser and ally of international gangsterism.”
— Robin Prior & Trevor Wilson, The First World War (1999), 2001 paperback edition; ISBN 0–304-35984-X (even though Wikiquote is registering this as an invalid ISBN), p. 213
“Enough, enough, enough! Say no more! Lump the whole thing! say the Creator made Italy from designs by Michael Angelo!”
— Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad. Twain humorously depicts tourists being told that most every monument in Italy was designed or painted by "Michael Angelo", oblivious to the historic significance of Michelangelo.
“In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed - they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!”
— Orson Welles, as the character Harry Lime in the Graham Greene film, The Third Man (1949).

Italy's fragmented space sector pushed toward consolidation

Italy's fragmented space industry is under mounting pressure to consolidate as defence and government customers demand larger, integrated suppliers capable of managing complex programmes, a shift mirrored across Europe for strategic autonomy. Industry officials say access to capital and preserving innovation are key hurdles as firms pursue mergers or alliances to win next-generation mega-constellations and end-to-end defense contracts.
