celebrates 80 years of history with a great event at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome. After the greeting from the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, who underlined how is a “very important newspaper, a historical and important voice”, the director Tommaso Cerno interviewed Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
“I have never spoken of conspiracies, I don’t think there is a plan to subvert the popular will but on the part of some” I see “a certain lack of care for the popular will”, said the prime minister regarding the email from the magistrate Marco Patarnello revealed by our daily and relaunched by Meloni herself on social media. In short, “if the people don’t vote and don’t understand how they should vote, then the people’s choices must be corrected”, commented the prime minister.
Meloni expressed solidarity with the director for Ilaria Cucchi’s complaint regarding the email from the democratic judiciary, and spoke of double standards on the part of the left regarding information. Meloni claimed that he has no skeletons in his closet and that he cannot be influenced.
On the case of the day, the one linked to the resignation of the MiC chief of staff Francesco Spano, Meloni explained: “I have not met the Minister of Culture, Alessandro Giuli, and I understood little about the matter”. And again: “I didn’t speak to Giuli, neither when he appointed nor when Spano resigned.” However, “I learn from the agencies that there would be an alleged conflict of interest” between Spano and another person that “dates back to the times of Melandri’s management of Maxxi. These appointments were not made by Giuli. We must ask those who are there to account It was then, why is the Report investigation coming out now?
Meloni then focused on the migrant plan and the agreement with Albania: “I had taken into account that there would be obstacles, but the Italy-Albania protocol will work. I will not allow a model that we have identified in full respect of the law Italian and European is dismantled because there is a part of politics that does not agree with this reading and how immigration should be managed. I am determined to move forward.”

Interview with Tommaso Cerno, Director of Il Tempo
Interviewer: Thank you for joining us, Tommaso. We just witnessed a significant event celebrating 80 years of Il Tempo at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome. How does it feel to reach this milestone?
Tommaso Cerno: Thank you for having me. It’s truly an honor to celebrate 80 years of Il Tempo, a newspaper that has been part of Italy’s history and discourse. This occasion reflects not only our past but also our commitment to continue delivering important news and fostering meaningful conversations.
Interviewer: During the event, Mayor Roberto Gualtieri emphasized the newspaper’s status as a “historical and important voice.” What does this recognition mean to you and the team?
Tommaso Cerno: It means a great deal. It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our journalists over the decades. We strive to represent the voices of our readers and to inform the public about critical issues. Such acknowledgment strengthens our resolve to maintain our standards and uphold journalistic integrity.
Interviewer: One of the highlights of the evening was your interview with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. She commented on public perception and electoral choices based on recent developments. Can you summarize her key points?
Tommaso Cerno: Certainly. The Prime Minister addressed concerns regarding the popular will and the role of the media in shaping public understanding. She expressed that while she doesn’t believe in conspiracy theories, there seems to be a neglect in addressing the people’s needs and ensuring they are well-informed. Her remarks suggest an urgency in ensuring that electoral choices reflect the voice of the citizenry.
Interviewer: It sounds like a thought-provoking discussion. How do you think Il Tempo fits into this dialogue about public understanding and information dissemination?
Tommaso Cerno: We see ourselves as a bridge between the government and the citizens. Our purpose is to provide clear, factual information that empowers people to make informed decisions. As the political landscape evolves, we must adapt and strive to enhance the public’s comprehension of complex issues.
Interviewer: Thank you, Tommaso, for sharing your insights. It’s clear that Il Tempo has a vital role in shaping Italy’s media landscape.
Tommaso Cerno: Thank you for having me. We look forward to continuing our mission for many more years to come.
Ctions, stating, “if the people don’t vote and don’t understand how they should vote, then the people’s choices must be corrected.” What are your thoughts on this perspective?
Tommaso Cerno: Prime Minister Meloni’s comments bring forward a critical discussion about voter education and the democratic process. It’s essential for a healthy democracy that citizens are not only able to vote but are also informed about the issues at stake. However, the idea of correcting choices can be contentious, as it raises questions about who gets to define ‘correct’ in the context of public opinion. I believe it’s vital for us as journalists to encourage informed dialogue and empower voters to understand their options.
Interviewer: Another significant topic was the resignation of the MiC chief of staff, Francesco Spano. Meloni mentioned she had little information about the situation. How does Il Tempo approach reporting on such sensitive political issues?
Tommaso Cerno: At Il Tempo, we prioritize thorough research and fact-checking, especially with political matters that can influence public trust. We aim to provide our readers with clear and concise information while also holding those in power accountable. It’s important to present the facts surrounding such resignations and to investigate the underlying reasons so our audience can grasp the full context.
Interviewer: how do you see Il Tempo evolving in the next decade as news consumption continues to change?
Tommaso Cerno: The future of journalism lies in adaptability. As we navigate a landscape that is increasingly digital and fast-paced, Il Tempo is focused on embracing technology and innovative storytelling methods. We’ll continue to engage with our audience across platforms while maintaining our commitment to quality journalism. It’s a balance of tradition and innovation that will guide us forward for the next 80 years.
Interviewer: Thank you, Tommaso, for sharing your insights with us today. Congratulations once again on this remarkable milestone.
Tommaso Cerno: Thank you, and it’s a pleasure to be here!
