Faced with rising living costs and the uncertainty of international markets, Italian families are taking a more pragmatic approach to protecting their household budget. According to the new report "Primum vivere" (Primum vivere), compiled by Censis in collaboration with Confcooperative, economic pressures and the fear of further increases in utility bills—which currently average more than €3,900 per year for utilities and fuel—are driving the population to seek any cost-cutting solution. While more than three-quarters of Italians continue to support renewable energy development, 54.5% now prefer investment in next-generation nuclear power, and over half (49.7%) are open to restoring Russian gas supplies. The report emphasizes a distinct social divide: the ecological transition is more readily financed by the affluent classes, whereas low-income households, which are particularly vulnerable to energy poverty, prioritize immediate affordability. Despite disagreements about energy supply sources, the clear majority of Italians see the European Union as the sole institution capable of coordinating energy policies and maintaining the country's economic stability.
