Within the framework of national infrastructure development policies, two topics have recently emerged: energy storage and the enhancement of the port system.

Regarding energy, Italy has been described as a large "battery," referring to storage capacity that can help mitigate energy prices and provide protection against adverse scenarios, both meteorological and geopolitical. This reasoning is linked to the energy transition and supply security.

On the maritime infrastructure front, Undersecretary for Infrastructure and Transport Edoardo Rixi stated that Italy must become a great maritime country, identifying the development of the port system as a priority for strengthening national logistics networks.

Both topics, though distinct, fall within a broader debate on the modernization of the country's strategic infrastructure.
