New York commemorates 25 years since September 11 attacks

Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, New York City commemorates the 2,977 victims. The anniversary highlights the courage of first responders and the profound impact on the global community.

The event holds specific significance for the Italian and Italian-American communities, with research identifying 411 victims of Italian origin. Italian officials, including Minister for Disabilities Alessandra Locatelli and Deputy Andrea Di Giuseppe, visited the Memorial and the Consulate General of Italy in New York to pay their respects.

Beyond the immediate tragedy, the anniversary serves as a reflection on how the attacks reshaped geopolitics and media perception. It also marks a turning point in the proliferation of structured conspiracy theories, which gained significant traction through digital media and social networks following the event.
