A-Infos (en) Italy, FDCA: ANTIDOTE No. 5 (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

In the event of war, Italy will be a nuclear target. Italy is a party to 
the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as a non-nuclear-weapon 
state, having formally ratified the agreement in 1975. The NPT 
establishes the country's absolute commitment not to manufacture, 
receive, or acquire nuclear weapons. But... as the popular saying goes, 
"where the law is made, the loophole is found," with a refined 
Jesuitical sophism, the Italian government and the United States 
maintain that no transfer has taken place.
The approximately 35 B61 nuclear bombs stationed in Aviano and Ghedi 
remain under the exclusive and permanent custody of US soldiers, but 
Italy is actively preparing for their use; In fact, a select group of 
Italian Air Force pilots, historically nicknamed the "Red Devils," train 
at the 6th Wing of the Italian Air Force, stationed at Ghedi Air Base 
(Brescia).
This specious interpretation to justify nuclear weapons on our soil is 
not universally accepted and is considered by many jurists, historians, 
and the International Movement for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons 
(ICAN) to be a true violation of the spirit (and letter) of the treaty.
In short, Italy manages to formally declare itself in compliance with 
the NPT by exploiting an acrobatic interpretation of the concept of 
"control."
The nuclear bombs at Aviano and Ghedi, the MUOS satellite system at 
Niscemi, and the gigantic arsenal at Camp Darby do not protect us, but 
rather expose us as a target in a nuclear conflict scenario. The first 
targets would be the bases hosting nuclear weapons and strategic command 
centers.
There are an estimated 12,187 nuclear warheads in the world.
This data comes from leading international geopolitical and security 
institutions, including the SIPRI Yearbook (Stockholm International 
Peace Research Institute) and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS).
The reports highlight a worrying trend: although the total number is 
slightly decreasing due to the dismantling of old Cold War-era weapons, 
the number of active nuclear weapons ready for military use is steadily 
increasing.
