Big one is planned for 10 July nearly nationwide, especially in Milano (LIN and MXP) and Venezia (VCE) (Palermo PMO is not on the 10th but is striking on the 11th instead, we do long weekends here in Sicilia)....
This of course annoys me because I was flying a family member into Italy on the 10th via MXP but have moved the flight to FCO so fingers crossed.

By Italian law flights 6a-9a and 6p-9p are legally protected unlike on trains. They also will sometimes list other protected flights. Use the link I posted above for the strike announcements.

Summer is strike time here in Italia and Europe in general, and Italian unions are really pissed at increases in military spending and they want more spent on working shorter hours and education, so the rail strikes on the 14th-15th of July will be massive. One of the bigger ones recently.
