On 15 July, the sixth edition of Med-Or Day, the Foundation's annual flagship event, was held at the headquarters of the Med-Or Italian Foundation in Rome. The 2026 edition featured Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, Chair of the NATO Military Committee, in a conversation on the theme "Atlantic-Europe-Mediterranean: What Future for NATO?", moderated by Fiorenza Sarzanini, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Corriere della Sera.

The discussion focused on NATO's future challenges in today's international environment, marked by ongoing conflicts and emerging threats, with particular attention to developments in the Euro-Atlantic area and the Mediterranean.

Once again, Med-Or Day proved to be one of the Foundation's most significant and well-attended events. Through initiatives such as Med-Or Day, the Med-Or Italian Foundation continues to foster strategic dialogue on geopolitics, economics and international security, promoting exchanges among institutions, academia and industry.
