Religious commentaries in Italy have focused on various themes within the Gospel of Matthew.

Initial reflections by Ermes Ronchi addressed the requirements for following Jesus, specifically emphasizing self-denial, the active choice of ‘taking up the cross’, and a commitment to care for others and creation. 

Subsequent commentaries from the Archdioceses of Ancona Osimo and Pisa shifted focus to the genealogy of Jesus and the role of Joseph. These texts examined the lineage of Jesus from Abraham through King David and highlighted Joseph’s righteousness and discretion during the events surrounding the birth of Jesus.
