Is there freedom of the press in Italy? Are we a country at risk? And how is a right sanctioned by the Constitution, which provides for the right to freely express one's thoughts through speech, writing and any other means of dissemination, won and maintained? Questions on which the journalists Lorenzo Bagnoli, director of Irpi Media (non-profit journalism centre Investigative Reporting Project Italy) and Alberto Nerazzini, investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker and co-host with Corrado Formigli of "100 minuti" on La 7, former collaborator of Report on Rai3 and co-founder of Dig, an international festival that has been celebrating and supporting investigative journalism since 2015, confronted at Palazzo del Ben in Rovereto, guests of WIRED Next Fest Trentino.
