Truckers’ protests in southern Italy disrupted supplies across Apulia, Calabria and Sicily on October 16, while Bari’s mayor warned that waste collection and public transport had less than a week of operating reserves. Workers at Taranto’s ex-Ilva steelworks removed two road blockades, but their strike continued ahead of government talks on October 27 . Key takeaways Taranto steelworkers cleared the SS 106 and SS 7 without ending their strike. Calabria’s mobilization involves about 20 protest sites and several economic sectors. Sicilian truckers report diesel prices above €2.16 per liter. Bari faces potential interruptions to waste collection and public transport.
