This week’s cover story, by Stefania Auci and Simonetta Sciandivasci, for Italian daily newspaper La Stampa, dives into the flames of Sicily, where “everything is burning” amid weeks of untamable wildfires. The story looks at how fires, often started deliberately, have been made worse by recent extreme heatwaves. Faced with the government’s inaction and shortages in firefighter staff and equipment, local farmers and residents are left to put out the fires on their own.
