MILAN, ITALY †OCTOBER 10, 2026: Protesters gather for a sit-in in Piazza della Scala in central Milan to oppose the development of new data centers across Lombardy and Italy. The demonstration is organized by the Rete dei Comitati No Data Center (No Data Center Committee Network), which is calling for a moratorium on permits for new facilities. The group also urges public authorities to conduct thorough environmental, urban planning and regional assessments before approving projects. For approved facilities that have not yet begun operating, campaigners are calling for reviews to be reopened if potential microclimate effects and cumulative impacts with existing facilities were not adequately assessed. - ZUMAq101 20261010_zna_q101_178
