## Summary

A second wave of emailed bomb threats reached schools across Italy on Thursday, but only a small number were evacuated as the government issued new guidance. The change followed widespread disruption the previous day and aimed to prevent unverified mass emails from triggering unnecessary closures.

About 1,800 schools received Thursday’s threats, which were signed with the same name used in the previous day’s messages. Schools were told to keep classes running unless there was specific evidence of danger, with local prefects able to order evacuations; checks found no explosives. The earlier wave had affected around 6,300 schools, and authorities were investigating who sent the threats.
