- 2024 July 27, Leonardo Coen, “Stravagante, irriverente, audace: la cerimonia d’apertura è stata come Parigi, un passo avanti rispetto alle altre capitali – il commento [Extravagant, irreverent, bold: The opening ceremony was like Paris, a step ahead of other capitals — the commentary]”, in il Fatto Quotidiano:
