Italy: fresh school threats as Rome seeks to avoid automatic evacuations

Published

Italian schools received fresh threatening emails on 12 November 2026. Checks are reported in Liguria and Puglia, among other areas, as Rome announces guidance intended to match the response to assessed risks.

In Genoa, local authorities chose to conduct checks without another evacuation, according to La Repubblica’s reporting. Responses remain varied: Euronews reports that some Italian schools were evacuated while others continued lessons during inspections.

After the previous day’s disruption, the government says a mass email alone should not automatically trigger evacuation. The decision remains with the prefect, based on concrete evidence. A technical meeting is announced to clarify the protocol. These announcements do not establish that every school is already following an identical procedure.
