A truck drivers' protest in southern Italy has halted pasta production and blocked food and fuel deliveries after fuel and living costs surged.
The disruption threatens the country's €13.5B pasta supply chain, with major producers in Campania, Puglia, and Molise reporting empty ingredient silos. Protesters have blocked roads, motorways, and ports since the demonstrations began last week.
