Il carcinoma intraduttale, per definizione, non si diffonde e di solito viene trattato con la chirurgia per rimuovere il…

In a twist of events, no taxpayer money was spent, not even for a coffee, in the absence of the advisor to the Minister of Culture for major events. Dr. Maria Rosaria Boccia did not have access to any confidential documents, especially those related to the organization of the G7 Culture. Gennaro Sangiuliano stands his ground against the pressure. Despite being called to Palazzo Chigi by Prime Minister Meloni, he maintains his version of events, calling himself a victim of an “undeniable media storm” where it’s hard to distinguish between fake news and reality. Despite the challenges from Maria Rosaria…
