Inter Milan In Mourning – Former Nerazzurri President Ernesto Pellegrini Has Passed Away
Inter Milan In Mourning – Former Nerazzurri President Ernesto Pellegrini Has Passed Away Former Inter Milan President Ernesto Pellegrini has passed away at the age of 84. The prominent Italian businessman was at the helm of the Nerazzurri for eleven years, between 1984 and 1995. Then, in 1984 Pellegrini took over the club entirely from Ivanoe Fraizzoli. Advertisement Ernesto Pellegrini would end up being Inter Milan President for a period of over a decade. During Pellegrini's ten years at the helm, Inter would make a number of high profile signings. He was the President who brought Germans Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Lothar Matthaus, Andreas Brehme, and Juergen Klinsmann to the San Siro. Former Inter Milan President Ernesto Pellegrini Has Passed Away Ci ha lasciato il Presidente Ernesto Pellegrini. Per undici anni ha guidato l'Inter con saggezza, onore e determinazione, lasciando una impronta indelebile nella storia del nostro Club. FC Internazionale Milano e tutto il popolo nerazzurro si stringono attorno ai suoi familiari The height of Pellegrini's time as Inter President was undoubtedly the 1988-89 season. That campaign saw the Nerazzurri win the Serie A title with a then-record points total under Giovanni Trapattoni. That season remains the most points that any team has taken in a single Serie A season prior to the three-points-for-a-win era. Advertisement Inter also won the UEFA Cup twice during Pellegrini's presidency. The Nerazzurri won that continental competition during the 1990-91 and 1993-94 seasons. In 1995, Pellegrini would sell Inter Milan to Massimo Moratti, the son of another former Nerazzurri President Angelo Moratti. Moratti would go on to have his own ups and downs at Inter, culminating in the 2009-10 Treble.

Why you'll see individual Russian athletes at 2026 Winter Olympics, but no teams
Though some individual Russian athletes may be allowed to compete as neutrals at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, the country's hockey teams will be on the outside looking in at the action. Article content The Reuters news agency on Tuesday published a report stating the current ban on Russian teams will remain in place through the Milano Cortina 2026 men's and women's hockey tournaments, slated for February of next year. Article content Hockey action begins Feb. 4, the opening ceremonies will be held two days later, and the Games will run through Feb. 22, the date of the men's gold-medal game at what will be the newly built 16,000-seat Milano Santagiulia arena. Article content There was no official statement from either the International Olympic Committee (IOC) or International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) on Tuesday; however, the Reuters report quoted an unnamed IOC official. Article content 'The recommendation of the IOC Executive Board from March 2023 regarding teams of athletes holding Russian passports remains in force. It is based on the premise that, by definition, a group of individual neutral athletes cannot be considered a team. We take note that the IIHF has confirmed it will follow this recommendation, which was made after consultations with the relevant International Federations and other stakeholders of the Olympic Movement.' Article content The IIHF had announced in February that the suspensions of Russian and Belarusian teams would continue through May 2026 and IIHF president Luc Tardif said during a press conference last weekend at the world hockey championship in Stockholm that the IOC would be making this decision. Article content Article content 'Recently they asked us to send them a schedule without Russia, so that's where we are,' Tardif said. 'The official statement is pending but the IOC has told us that they are informing the Russian Olympic Committee that they are not participating in the Olympics.' Article content Article content There are two spots open in each of the men's, women's and mixed doubles curling tournaments at Milano Cortina 2026, but it seems unlikely that Russian curling teams will be allowed to compete in qualifying events. Article content World Curling extended their ban through the 2024-25 season, citing Rule C1(b) which states that a team may be removed from any event if the World Curling board decides the team's presence would 'damage the event or put the safety of the participants or the good order of the event at risk.' Article content Competing under the banner of 'Russian Olympic Committee,' the men's team won gold at PyeongChang 2018. At Beijing 2022, they claimed silver as 'Team Olympic Athlete from Russia.'

Italy business lobby asks for urgent measures to lower energy costs
MILAN, May 27 (Reuters) - Italian industries need lower energy costs in order to survive and compete effectively with European peers, the head the country's main business lobby Confindustria said on Tuesday. "Our companies continue to suffer from an energy (price) surcharge of more than 35% over the European average, even reaching peaks of 80% when compared to the largest European countries," Emanuele Orsini said at Confindustria's annual meeting. Orsini called for a change in the price mechanism for electricity, a cut in the general costs included in energy bills, fewer regulatory hurdles for renewables, and a return to nuclear energy.

Italy's Fashion Brands Sign Accord to Fight Worker Exploitation
Italian legal and political authorities, fashion industry bodies and trade unions signed an action plan on Monday to fight worker exploitation in the apparel and accessories supply chain, after prosecutors uncovered widespread abuse. Italy accounts for half the world's production in the luxury fashion industry. The plan, which is not legally binding, is an attempt to tackle what Milan prosecutors have described in documents seen by Reuters as "a generalized manufacturing method" that puts lives at risk to boost profits. A first draft of the scheme was proposed by a Milan court in June last year, after prosecutors uncovered workshops where underpaid workers, often irregular immigrants, produced leather bags sold to Dior and Armani for a tiny fraction of their retail price. This month an Italian court placed a unit of Valentino under judicial administration for a year, after uncovering worker abuse in its supply chain. "The goal is that the court will no longer have to intervene," Fabio Roia, the president of Milan's court system, told journalists on the sidelines of the memorandum signing. The memorandum of understanding - reviewed by Reuters - focuses on the creation of a database of brands' suppliers and their workforces. Supply chain firms will voluntarily enter their data on the platform, including information on tax compliance, social security contributions and labor law compliance, with updates at least every six months. According to Monday's agreement, fashion brands must commit to raising awareness of the new platform among their suppliers and urge them to enter their data. However, they may still use suppliers and subcontractors that fail to do so. The regional government of Lombardy, around Milan, will issue firms that sign up to the scheme with a six-month renewable certificate of transparency.
